Non-Profit Charity Auction Fundraiser & Fundraising Ideas for Groups & Organizations:

Create a Wildly Successful
Non-Profit, Charity Fundraiser Auction
for your Group or Organization

 by Jenae Rubin


There are many groups and organizations that put on non-profit, charity auction fundraisers in your town.  If your event is like everyone else's, there is no reason to choose your fundraising auction over the others.  Read on for ideas that will make you be the auction to attend... year in and year out.
 

First Step - Create excitement!

We crave excitement in our lives.  People yearn for fun, unusual, entertaining things to do.  Give it to event attendees, and attendance will soar.  They will bring friends and spend lots of money with you... regardless what else is going on in town.

Here are some ideas to make your charity, non-profit fundraising auction stimulating...  

1.      Choose a name that is fun.  One fundraiser auction is titled “Not So Silent Moonlight Auction” because the group was really into it (so it wasn’t quiet) and there were so many items it runs late! 

2.      Find a location that’s fun.  I once ran a fundraiser auction in the Press Room of the Daytona International Speedway… for free!  Think about what would be an exciting venue and who you know who knows people who can get you in.  Stay away from the same, tired (I mean tried) and true (I mean boring), regular (I mean uninteresting) locations everyone else has events at.  Exciting venues generate interest in attending.  It’s that simple. 

3.      Start with the location, now change everything you can that's boring, humdrum, and done by everyone else.  Change your bidding paddles, your theme, decorations, invitations, product descriptions.  Make everything fun!!!
 

Run your fundraiser professionally

Professional auctions know how to make money.  Do what they do, and you will make more money than you ever have and more than you thought you could.  Here are some keys...

Attract a large and wealthy group of bidders 

1.      Get people in your community talking about the auction weeks before it happens.  This increases excitement… and bidding. 

2.      Contact the local media and other organizations that will promote your event and draw even more attendance.   

Build momentum 

1.      Inspire early donations and bidding by people who can’t attend with a pre-auction catalog.  This will also get everyone talking about your event.

2.      Solicit unique, fun items that are not normally available for sale or are fantasies.  One radio station donated one person to be ON THE AIR with the morning DJ during drive time!  Who do you know who could offer fun, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities?  Ask them if they will donate this item which costs them nothing and will raise hundreds of dollars. 

3.     Set up the auction catalog so it creates enthusiasm for each item and excitement to bid on the next item!  

4.      Offer your items in an order that builds momentum. 

5.      Group lesser expensive items to create more expensive, more exciting packages.


Get bidders pumped!

1.      Select starting bids designed to stimulate sales. 

2.   Raise bids in appropriate increments. 

3.   Choose the best option of selling multiples of the same item as a “lot” or “times the money”.  Offering multiple items to highest bidder and the balance to the second highest bidder at the same price brings in a lot more money. 

4.   Know when and how to bid for the house to keep momentum and interest. 

5.   Take bids from people who aren’t able to attend. 
 


Take advantage of your status

Because you are a non-profit organization, you can get support real auction houses would be envious of.   

1.     Businesses and individuals will sponsor different aspects of your event.  This will cut costs (increasing profits) and create a spectacular event instead of a run-of-the mill non-profit auction.  Remember the first example?  The Daytona International Speedway donated the use of their Press Room for an auction.  So few people had been there, they came to the auction to say they've been to a place people only see on television. 

2.   Have fundraisers inside your fundraiser (raffles, silent auctions, 50/50)... and do them right! 
 

Run your event like a business

Good planning and organization creates an event attendees want to participate in (and volunteer to help in), saves you time, and eliminates problems.  

Plan your meetings 

1.      Assign responsibilities leading up to and during the event, and make sure everyone knows what is expected of them. 

2.      Create all your forms and marketing material to make the solicitation of donations and the running of the event flawless. 

3.      Finally, plan all the administrative functions of the actual event so keeping track of who buys what and checking out is smooth and easy.  You don’t want to ruin a great event because the last impression is a bad one. 

Document all your steps, and repeat!  Now you can run a wildly successful fundraiser auction every year, giving you a reliable fundraiser you will easily repeat and become a staple in supporting your organization.
 

No need to reinvent the wheel 

 

Instead of burning your volunteers out with an unsuccessful event, you can now have a complete “easy-to-follow system” to make your auction an enormous financial and social success.  Members and attendees will rave about your event and tell others making future events even more successful.

 

I’ve helped many non-profit groups with their auctions and have seen what does and doesn’t work.  I’ve seen organizations try to run a charity fundraiser without planning to reach their financial goal. 

 

Recently, I worked with a church who didn’t know how much they wanted to make.  They were so frustrated with previous, unsuccessful attempts, they sadly said, “We’ll be happy if we clear $5,000.”  Not drawn into their lack of hope and gusto, I said, “Let’s aim for $15,000.”  Thirty days later, after following my guidance, they cleared just over $19,000.  That’s almost FOUR TIMES what they would have accepted.  In most cases, organizations just hope it will work out.  When it doesn’t… well, that’s no fun, is it?  I solved this problem. 

 

If the ideas above just whet your appetite, and you're now saying, "I need more details.  I want to implement all these ideas - and more," here's the program you are seeking...

"The manual, CD and system are incredibly well organized and easy to follow.  It is a great asset."  Chris Scali, District Governor, American Advertising Federation


Wow!  This is amazing.  Think about how much would you pay someone to help you raise $10,000, $25,000 or more?  If you hired a professional fundraiser, they would take at least 25% of your gross revenue.  A professional sales person would want 20% or more of your revenue.  For a $20,000 auction, that means you would pay $3,000 - $5,000 to accomplish ONE TIME what you will learn how to do every single year.

 

If this were a for-profit sector, I would sell this for around $699, but you’re a non-profit organization, and I know most can’t afford that much.  In fact, I created this system because I like helping non-profit organizations, so your total investment for the comprehensive system including all the forms you need to run your auction is $187.00 only $87.  This $100 savings offer includes a FREE SUPER BONUS if you order today, .  To order, Click Here.
