How the day actually goes

You shouldn't need six volunteers and a spreadsheet to raise money with golf.

Platform features

Everything the day demands.

Silent Auction

Guests bid from their phones. No login, no app.

Your items go up on a mobile-friendly page, but the bidding happens over text. Someone types BID 1 1350, a confirmation comes straight back, and that “I'm winning!” feeling, plus the inevitable outbid alert that ends it, keeps money moving all round. Nobody has to stand at a table.

  • Works from any phone that can send a text. Flip phones included.
  • A last-second bid extends the clock, so nobody snipes the Pebble Beach trip.
  • Closes itself at the time you set. Winners get a payment link by text.

Live Scoring

Players score from the cart. You watch it live.

Players get a text link at check-in. One tap, one question per hole: “What did your team score?” Big buttons, no login, built to work in direct sunlight. The leaderboard updates the moment they submit, live on any clubhouse TV.

  • Live leaderboard updates instantly as scores come in.
  • Override any score from your dashboard when someone fat-fingers a 9.
  • Works offline when the signal drops on the back nine, then syncs.
Post-Event Report

The final number, ready before you leave the 19th hole.

When the event closes, Redswing pulls every dollar from registrations, auction, sponsors, add-ons, and donations, calculates your net proceeds, and drafts the board-ready report itself. You go home having already sent the thank-you.

  • Net proceeds calculated automatically, after the platform fee.
  • Donor list with amounts, ready for acknowledgment letters.
  • PDF-ready for board meetings and grant reporting.

Why Redswing exists

We've stood at hundreds of charity golf events, on both sides of the rope. The organizers always worked too hard for the money they raised. Redswing is the platform we kept wishing existed: built for this exact day, from registration to the board report.

Golf people, not gala people
Built on Stripe Connect
IRS disclosures automated
Pricing

We make money when you do. Not before.

Free to set up. $0 upfront, no monthly charges, no contract. You only pay a small percentage of what you actually raise. And here's the part most platforms bury: your players can cover that fee for you at checkout, so when they do, their full registration goes to your cause.

Real rates: 3% of registrations; 5% of auction, sponsors & add-ons. Direct donations are always free, and there's no setup fee or contract. Cover the Fee adds an optional 3% at checkout that passes entirely to your charity, fully covering the registration fee and most of the rest.

How we're built

A few things worth knowing before you set up your event.

1

Funds go straight to your Stripe account

Redswing uses Stripe Connect. When a registration clears, the money lands in your organization's Stripe account directly. We never hold your funds.

2

IRS tax disclosures, handled for you

Quid pro quo disclosure text is computed and attached to every registration at checkout, automatically. The language the IRS requires when payment exceeds $75, handled every time, without you thinking about it.

3

Zero percent on direct donations. Forever.

Pure charitable donations run through Redswing at 0% platform fee. No exceptions, no fine print. It's in the code and we're not going to change it.

Your event, fully managed.
Start to settlement.

Built by someone who's stood at hundreds of these events, on both sides of the rope. There's no contract to sign and nothing for your players to download. The day finally runs the way you pictured it.
