Feature our items in your live or silent auction using whatever platform or format you already use. No software switch required. Each item can be sold to multiple winners, multiplying your revenue from a single package. We provide professional marketing materials to drive higher bids.
Once your auction closes, send us each winning bidder's name, contact info, and the item they won. Our in-house team of travel and experience experts takes it from there. Booking, coordinating, and managing every detail directly with your winners. You collect your profit and move on.
✦ Exclusive to CharityAuctions
Our catalog is just the beginning. We create unlimited custom auction items and experiences designed specifically around your donor base. So they bid higher, stay longer, and give more.
Tailored to your audience. We analyze your donor demographics and past auction data to create experiences they'll actually want. That drives higher sell rates and bigger bids.
Unlimited custom items. There is no cap on how many custom experiences we'll build for your event. Local getaways, VIP access, behind-the-scenes tours. If your donors will love it, we'll create it.
Higher sell rates, more money raised. Custom items that resonate with your specific crowd consistently outperform generic catalog items. Often selling 2 to 3 times and at higher price points.
Full marketing materials included. Every custom item comes with a professional display card, digital assets, and bid sheet. Ready to use the day of your event.

Why It Works
Consignment items consistently outperform donated items. Here is why nonprofits keep coming back.
Reserve as many items as you want with no payment required. You're only invoiced after your event closes, and only for items that actually sold. Zero financial risk to your organization.
Unlike donated items, consignment packages can be sold to multiple winners. A single trip can raise $4,000, $8,000, or more, depending on how many bidders want it. More sales, more revenue.
After your auction closes, send us the winner's name and what they won. Our dedicated in-house team contacts your winners directly, books everything, and manages all logistics from start to finish.

Trusted by organizations like
“We added 6 consignment packages to our gala and sold every single one. Most of them twice. The custom Napa experience we requested was a huge hit. Our donors were fighting over it.”
“The custom items were a game-changer. They built a Cubs Suite Night experience specifically for our Chicago donor base and it sold 4 times at $3,500 each. That's $14,000 from one item.”
“I was skeptical about consignment items but the zero-risk model convinced me to try it. We had nothing to lose. We ended up raising $28,000 more than our previous year's auction.”
