Benefit Auctions and Fundraising Auctions

There are 150,000 Nonprofit fundraising auctions in the United States every year. These events raise moneys from $10,000 to $1,000,000.

Research shows that a large number of Nonprofit organizations including schools, museums, hospitals, churches, service groups and civic groups use auctions as their major source of fundraising

An auction is a true example of the market economy. Simply put, an auction is a collection of items to be sold to the highest bidders. Combine the ingredients of colleagues and friends banded together to benefit a sponsored institution, an accumulation of unique and special items for sale as well as a crowd-pleasing environment and a qualified auctioneer and you have the recipe for record breaking success.

A well-organized and orchestrated benefit auction is one of the most efficient methods of raising substantial sums of money while increasing the amount of involvement and commitment among the organizations membership.
