Timed online Charity auctions
Timed online auctions run over a fixed duration of your choosing, giving bidders the flexibility to place bids at their convenience. Once your auction is set up, it operates automatically, freeing you to focus on marketing and driving bidder engagement.

FAQS
A charity auction is a fundraising event where items or experiences are sold to raise money for a charitable organisation or cause. All proceeds from the auction go directly to support the charity, making it a powerful and engaging way to generate donations.
Online charity auctions operate much like traditional auctions but take place on a digital platform. Supporters can browse lots, place bids in real time, and complete payments online, with proceeds automatically directed to the charity.
Reach a Larger Supporter Base
Online charity auctions allow organisations to reach supporters far beyond a single physical event. Donors, sponsors, and bidders can participate from anywhere, making it easier for people to support the cause even if they cannot attend in person. This expanded reach often increases participation and fundraising potential.
Increase Fundraising Potential
By opening auctions to a wider audience, charities can generate more competitive bidding on donated items. Supporters are often willing to bid higher when they know their contribution is supporting a meaningful cause. This competitive environment helps maximise the value raised for the charity.
Convenient Participation for Supporters
Online charity auctions make it easy for supporters to browse items, place bids, and track auction activity from any device. Participants can bid from their phone, tablet, or computer without needing to attend a physical event. This convenience encourages more people to take part and remain engaged throughout the auction.
Showcase Donated Items Effectively
Digital auction platforms allow charities to present donated items with detailed descriptions, images, and stories about the donors or the cause. Highlighting the value of each item and the impact of the fundraising campaign helps motivate supporters to participate and bid.
Simplified Event Management
Online auction platforms streamline many administrative tasks such as bidder registration, auction scheduling, and communication with participants. Automated notifications and bidding updates help keep supporters informed while reducing the workload for charity staff and volunteers.
Secure Payments and Donor Tracking
Online charity auctions integrate secure payment systems that allow supporters to complete transactions quickly once the auction ends. Automated invoicing and payment tracking help charities manage donations efficiently while maintaining organised records for reporting and future fundraising efforts.
To join an online charity auction, visit the hosting website, register as a bidder, and browse the items on offer. You can then place your bids in real time and securely pay online if you win.
Charity auctions often feature a mix of unique and high-value items, such as sports memorabilia, artwork, travel experiences, fine jewellery, and collectables. The items vary depending on the charity and event, but they are typically chosen to encourage competitive bidding and maximise fundraising.
