Online auctions have become an increasingly important part of development campaigns. Online Auctions can help increase the amount of contributions and auction items your organization receives, expand your reach, promote your fundraising event and motivate participants to bid more competitively. And, an online auction site provides supplemental revenue outlets that help your nonprofit raise even more money.
Online auctions can introduce your cause to countless new supporters. It offers philanthropic bidders the opportunity to purchase exclusive items at discounted prices while supporting worthwhile charities. An online auction can be integrated into your fundraising programs with ease, and even help your in-room live and silent auctions run more smoothly by reducing the logistical work involved on the day of your event.
When the John Cooper School decided to run their first online auction using Greater Giving’s resources they jumped right in and featured close to 500 items online. As The John Cooper School prepared for their gala, they were able to close out a number of items online, reducing the workload involved on the day event and gave participants a preview of the items that would be available in the room. This effective use of our tools and resources helped The John Cooper School raise $71,999 for their programs and run an incredibly successful online auction fundraiser.
