FrontStream
FrontStream is a fundraising platform for event-driven nonprofits and schools, with integrated payment processing and corporate giving solutions for socially responsible companies. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Claymont, Delaware, FrontStream helps organizations build confidence around the fundraising moments that matter — from charity auctions, galas, walks, golf tournaments, and peer-to-peer campaigns to online giving and year-round donor engagement. FrontStream Events is nonprofit event management and charity auction software that brings ticketing and registration, guest and table management, check-in, silent and live auctions, mobile bidding, peer-to-peer fundraising, sponsors, volunteers, and event payments into one experience for virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. FrontStream is also the company behind BiddingForGood, a charitable auction marketplace with a 2M+ bidder community that helps organizations reach bidders beyond the room and beyond their existing donor list. FrontStream Giving and FrontStream Donor Management help organizations extend engagement beyond the event through donation forms, recurring giving, donor records, giving history, segmentation, and communications. FrontStream Corporate Giving supports employee giving, payroll deductions, matching gifts, and workplace campaigns, while ApproveForGood by FrontStream helps companies manage in-kind donation and sponsorship requests that connect them with nonprofits. FrontStream Merchant Services provides integrated payment processing for donations, registrations, and event purchases, with support for reconciliation and reporting. Across its solutions, FrontStream combines technology with hands-on guidance before, during, and after the fundraiser, including onboarding, event planning guidance, and live-event support, helping organizations run stronger events, capture revenue confidently, and build momentum for what comes next. More than a platform, FrontStream is a fundraising partner.
