Our History

It all started with a long checkout 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 and so Auctionpay, Inc. was born. In October 2009, Auctionpay was acquired by Global Payments Inc. (Service. Driven. Commerce), and in January 2010 took another step in its evolution, becoming Greater Giving.

Join Our Team!

At Greater Giving, our employees are passionate about helping nonprofits and schools be more successful at fundraising for their cause. And they also take this passion outside the office, by volunteering their personal time throughout the year.

Every winter our entire company teams up with different nonprofits in the community to lend a helping hand. This year we asked team members to describe what Greater Giving means to them in one word. Watch the video to find out more.
