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...

system are incredibly well organized and easy to follow.
It is a great asset."

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.
