Don't Leave Money on the Table

Join Greater Giving's Patricia Borders and benefit auctioneer Gayle Stallings from FUNauctions as they share a decade of benefit event experience and new findings from industry experts to help you streamline, simplify, and maximize your next benefit event.

At this seminar, you will learn:

  • Pre-event promotion to get the right bidders to attend-and give
  • High-efficiency check-in and check-out procedures
  • Best event timing to boost giving
  • How to leverage past event data to improve an upcoming event
  • Item displays that drive more bidding
