A better event starts here

Three simple steps. One dependable event experience.

You do not need to be a tech expert or an auction veteran to start building something your supporters will love.

Build your event

Add your event details, auction items, tickets, and timing. Begin with the essentials and shape the experience around your cause.

Share one link

Give your community one easy destination. Guests can register, explore, bid, give, and come back from any device.

Raise with confidence

On event night, your team has one place to manage guests, track bidding, accept gifts, and move winners through checkout.

Everything you need, in one place

More than a bidding page. A complete event toolkit.

Build the experience your guests expect while keeping the moving pieces simple for your staff and volunteers. The platform carries you from guest arrival to a clean, donor-friendly finish.

Designed for real teams. Start with the features you need today and add what makes sense for your event.

No-app bidding

Guests can use a simple link on their phone, tablet, or computer. There is nothing new to download before they bid.

Tickets & check-in

Bring ticket sales, guest registration, tables, and attendee details into one event-ready workflow.

Giving & raffles

Pair bids with donations and raffle activity so supporters can contribute in the way that feels right for them.

Online, live & hybrid

Run the fundraiser you have planned, whether donors are at home, in the room, or participating together.

!

Outbid momentum

Automatic alerts and easy return paths make it simple for supporters to jump back in when competition rises.

Checkout & reporting

Move from winning bid to invoice, receipt, payment record, and event reports without a manual maze.

Built to meet the moment

Small and personal. Large and unforgettable.

Your guest count should not determine whether your event feels organized, welcoming, and ready for the night ahead.

Answers before you begin

Built to feel clear, from the first click.

Start by exploring your own event demo. Then decide what level of support and setup makes sense for your team.

Can we use CharityAuctions for a small event?

Yes. You can begin with the essential auction tools and a simple sharing link, then build only the experience your fundraiser needs.

Can the platform support a large in-person or hybrid event?

Yes. The platform is designed for online, live, and hybrid fundraising, so in-room guests and remote bidders can participate through the same event experience. You do not need to run two separate systems or manually reconcile bids.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests can use a direct event link from the browser on their phone, tablet, or computer. No app download required. Any phone, any browser, any event.

What happens after a winning bid?

Winners can receive a clear invoice and checkout path on their phone. They pay directly from the link. Receipts are sent automatically and your team has payment records and reporting in one place.

What's included in CharityAuctions?

Everything. Mobile bidding, online and silent auctions, live event tools, hybrid auction support, tickets, tables, raffles, instant checkout, invoices, receipts, donor profiles, reporting, CSV exports, and free support. All included with every account. No feature tiers, no hidden add-ons.

Does CharityAuctions include tickets and raffles?

Yes. Ticket sales, table management, guest check-in, raffle ticket sales (online and in-person), automatic entry tracking, and winner drawing are all included. Guest ticket purchases link directly to bidder accounts so checkout is seamless at the end of the night.

How do outbid alerts work?

When a bidder is outbid, they receive an automatic alert by email or SMS with a direct link back to the item. This brings donors back at exactly the right moment, when they are most motivated to bid again, and keeps competition active until the final close time.
