About Greater Giving
It all started with a long check-out line…
In 2002, at a community fundraising event in Portland, Oregon, Jeff Jetton was waiting to check out of the event’s benefit auction. Frustrated by the wait, Jeff began to consider ways to shorten benefit auction check-out lines. He leveraged his expertise in the ATM industry to develop our first product, Auctionpay Event Payment terminals—and Auctionpay, Inc., was born.
Since then, Auctionpay has grown to offer a variety of technology solutions and services specifically designed to meet the fundraising needs of schools and nonprofit organizations. Today our clients use Auctionpay products ranging from event management software to event registration to donation payment processing to online auctions, in order to automate and streamline their fundraising efforts so they can raise more money.
Thanks to our clients’ fundraising success, we’ve been honored with awards and recognition. We’ve been named one of Oregon’s Fastest Growing Companies (2006) and included in Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 (2007). We’ve also been selected as category winners at the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network’s annual Entrepreneur of the Year awards for 2004, 2005 and 2007.
In October 2009, Auctionpay was acquired by Global Payments, Inc., and in January 2010 took another step in its evolution, becoming Greater Giving.
Through its evolution, the Greater Giving team stays grounded by delivering technology and credit card processing services that make its clients more successful. The dollars raised by schools and nonprofits using Greater Giving solutions fund thousands of worthy causes that help those in need.
Making our clients more successful is what keeps us awake at night—and gets us out of bed in the morning.
