it&#8217;s not the only one with strong user approval. We encourage you to explore other top online auction sites to ensure you select the one best suited to achieve your fundraising goals.<\/p><h2><strong>Why Take Your Charity Auction Event Online?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The magical thing about online auction sites is the ability to reach bidders from all over the country, increasing the bidding pool\u2014and profits. Physical limitations of traditional auctions, such as geographical or timing issues, are past worries, thanks to online auction sites.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>There are dozens of online auction sites for your fundraiser. Almost any platform you choose to host your online charity auction will work. However some will work better for your needs than others, which is why we have reviewed 13 of today&#8217;s top rated online auction sites for you.\u00a0\u00a0<b><br \/><\/b><\/p><h3><strong>What makes one online auction site better than another?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3><p>It depends on your goals or what&#8217;s important to your organization. Cost may be a crucial factor. Others may want to work with a partner who\u00a0<i>is a\u00a0<\/i>charity auction expert.<\/p><p>Browse the top 13 online auction sites below to get a feel for what&#8217;s available. You&#8217;ll find that everyone on this <span data-sheets-root=\"1\">list of online auction websites <\/span>will &#8220;do,&#8221; but the hard part is determining how to differentiate them to select the best charity auction site for your fundraiser.<\/p><blockquote><p><em>This is a piece about\u00a0<strong>auction platforms:<\/strong>\u00a0explore our pieces detailing the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/10-of-the-best-fundraising-platforms\/\">10 best general fundraising platforms<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/10-fundraising-platforms-for-nonprofits\/\">10 best fundraising platforms for nonprofits<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><h3><strong>Be wary of &#8220;free&#8221; auction software<\/strong><\/h3><p>Beware of auction software that claims to be &#8220;free.&#8221; More specifically, a free charity auction site or free online bidding site. As the saying goes, there are no free lunches, even in the fundraising auction business. <strong>No auction site is truly free. There are costs required to run auction software or apps.<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Those costs may be explicit or implicit. Think about the added time you need to spend to work with a poorly maintained piece of software, one that doesn&#8217;t have the budget for the talent necessary to maintain it. &#8220;Free&#8221; auction software will not be quality software.<\/li><li>Think about security and privacy laws &#8211; do you want your bidders&#8217; contact details (and payment details) sold to a third party, be available to a determined hacker, or simply not comply with current regulations in the first place? Free online auctions might cost you in other ways.<\/li><li>Think about availability and reliability: will the free auction software be operational when you host your auction? Ask to see their uptime percentage. An ideal uptime percentage is 99.999.<\/li><\/ul><p>We recommend an online auction platform that has <b>no up-front costs, which is different than free.\u00a0<\/b>In fact,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/pricing\/\">no costs until your auction is over, like CharityAuctionsToday<\/a>.

Below, we\u2019ve picked out a few of the most important questions to highlight for each of the 13 auction sites we\u2019ve detailed.<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">How high are performance fees, transaction fees and\/or one-time fees?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Ask about other\/hidden fees!<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Is it customizable in such a way that the auction fits your organization or goal? Or does it\u00a0<i>just work<\/i>\u00a0out of the box?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Can it integrate with other software? If so, is it plug-and-play?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Does the software not only allow me to bring my own bidders but also boost (not replace!) my efforts by bringing in people browsing auctions, too?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Is live support available, or is it an online knowledge base only? Is support free or paid? Do I only get support when I ask for it, or does a trained, experienced customer\u00a0<b>success team help me raise as much money as possible?<\/b><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Is a credit card needed to take a test drive?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Ask them what their server uptime is. It should be \u201cup or live\u201d 99.99% or 99.999% of the time, which is as close to a guarantee that it will be live as you can get.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>Those are the top considerations. If you have specific needs such as event\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/ticketing-software\/\">tickets<\/a>, customized invoices, or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/help\/what-is-popcorn-bidding\/\">popcorn bidding<\/a>\u2014just ask the auction site if their platform has these customizations.<\/p><p><strong>PRO TIP:<\/strong>\u00a0If you want to go a step further, read their Google reviews to learn what users like and don&#8217;t like.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/r\/CWM7lmkteYuTEBM\/review\">Read ours<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p><h3>Shortcut: Compare CharityAuctionsToday and Four More Top Auction Sites<\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Auction-Sites-Comparison-Chart.png\" alt=\"auction site comparison chart\" width=\"691\" height=\"682\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Auction-Sites-Comparison-Chart.png 691w, https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Auction-Sites-Comparison-Chart-480x474.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 691px, 100vw\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Top 13 Charity Auction Sites to Consider<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>CharityAuctionsToday<\/strong><\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CharityAuctionsToday-Horizontal.png\" alt=\"CharityAuctionsToday logo\" width=\"20237\" height=\"3000\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CharityAuctionsToday-Horizontal.png 20237w, https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CharityAuctionsToday-Horizontal-1280x190.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CharityAuctionsToday-Horizontal-980x145.png 980w, https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CharityAuctionsToday-Horizontal-480x71.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 20237px, 100vw\" \/><\/p><p>Let\u2019s start with us as the benchmark: A versatile online charity auction site,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/\">CharityAuctionsToday<\/a>\u00a0supports\u00a0<b>individuals, nonprofits,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/7-fundraising-platforms-for-schools\/\">schools<\/a>, and businesses<\/b>\u00a0in their fundraising experience so that they can raise even more funds for the causes they care so much about.

Transparency and honesty are paramount for us \u2013 let\u2019s look at the space together, so that you can decide which auction sites are the best for you.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[ez-toc]\r\n<h2><strong>Why Take Your Charity Auction Event Online?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through online auction platforms, you can reach bidders from all over the world, so it\u2019s safe to say that by enlarging your bidding pool you can take your auctions to the next level. Thanks to virtual auctions, physical limitations of traditional auctions, such as geographical or timing problems, will become worries of the past.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organizations we have worked with over the years have inspired us with their passion and determination to raise awareness for unique causes. So, we thought it would be time to give back to them, both through our own auction software and through educating people on the myriad of options out there.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that there is no shortage of reputable online auction platforms. So, the real question is: <\/span><b>What makes one online charity auction platform better than another?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, it depends on your goals. While for some cost may be a crucial factor, others may be searching for authenticity or for a smooth and secure user experience. Others want to work with a partner who <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gets<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> charity auctions and can help them raise as many funds as possible.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure where to start? We have done the work for you. After hours of research (and more than a few cups of coffee), we are happy to present to you the <\/span><b>top<\/b> <b>12 online fundraising platforms.<\/b>\r\n<h2><strong>Top 12 Charity Auction Sites For Your Fundraiser<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong>1. CharityAuctionsToday<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/online-auction-software-charity-auctions-today-site.png\" alt=\"online-auction-software-charity-auctions-today-site\" width=\"1005\" height=\"486\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with us, the benchmark: A versatile online charity auction site, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CharityAuctionsToday<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supports individuals, nonprofits, schools, and businesses in their fundraising experience so that they can raise even more funds for the causes they care so much about.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It only takes five (yes, FIVE) minutes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/auctions\/new\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set up a simple auction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we are happy to assist every step of the way. If you want to run a smaller auction, our flex plans are for you \u2013 they are risk-free, as you will be charged a commission. If you set your sights on a bigger auction, then opt for a prepaid plan, and we\u2019ll waive the commission fee. Whichever way you choose to go, our Auction Success Managers will be there to support you every step of the way.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are our charity auctions easy to set up, but CharityAuctionsToday offers seamless functionality across all devices. This simplifies the management process and bidding for the users, making it easier to raise money and capture donor information<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>The best part?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to do any of this alone. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CharityAuctionsToday<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team is here to help you run your auction the way you want.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>2. 24Fundraiser - Now also CharityAuctionsToday<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we wanted to better fulfill our mission of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">providing nonprofit organizations and schools with the most efficient fundraising options, CharityAuctionsToday acquired <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/charity-auction-software\/24fundraiser\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24Fundraiser<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need all hands on deck? By acquiring 24Fundraiser and integrating their software, Charity Auction Today has made sure to allow you to create teams to start raising funds and planning your online charity auction together. Because the best online fundraising strategy is easy and seamless, you can register and collect donations, monitor attendance, sell sponsor ads, and run a mobile auction all from one page.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can use their services to collect dues for your organization. From online auctions and donation forms to donor management and processing, they offer an array of services meant to make your charity auctions run smoothly and stress-free.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>3. SchoolAuction.net<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auction-software-school-auction-site.png\" alt=\"online-auction-charity-auction-software-school-auction-net-website\" width=\"1127\" height=\"543\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For non-profit and corporate clients, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolauction.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SchoolAuction.net<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a lifesaver (and online auction saver). With plans running between $1000 to $3000 per year, depending on your organization\u2019s needs, SchoolAuction.net offers auction software meant to aid in your fundraising efforts and help you double the donation without doubling the effort.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While they do cater to different types of auctions, from traditional to digital and fusion, their pricing is not as flexible for smaller auctions (like CharityAuctionsToday is, for example, offering a commissioned auction option with no prepayment). If you do not have a pre-assigned budget for your auction, then SchoolAuction.net is not the way to go. Custom plans are also not an option if you opt for SchoolAuction.net to host your auction.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>4. BiddingOwl<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/4-BiddingOwl.jpg\" alt=\"BiddingOwl\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1195\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biddingowl.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BiddingOwl<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the top charity auction websites out there. With them, you are getting a comprehensive auction management system that caters to all your needs, whether you are planning a silent auction, live or online auctions. So far, they have hosted 73 auctions \u2013 a number we are rapidly working toward leaving behind.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make the process as convenient as possible for you or your organization, BiddingOwl allows you to set up your charity auction event for free, and only pay the 5% performance fee once your auction closes, which is calculated based on the revenues gained during the bid.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it can be a good free option, according to its testimonials it can get rather confusing at times for bidders and organizers alike. CharityAuctionsToday also offers a free set-up option, but with added advantages, such as promoting the auction to the total bidder pool (all bidders across all past auctions) in order to maximize your auction profits.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>5. Auctria<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auctions-auction-software-auctria-website.png\" alt=\"online-auctions-auction-software-auctria-website\" width=\"914\" height=\"558\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.auctria.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auctria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charity auction software company, dedicated to providing affordable tools to help nonprofits of any size run successful fundraising auctions. Their charity auction website and software were born out of the need to simplify real-time fundraising efforts by offering a solution that didn\u2019t break the bank but provided their customers with a reliable, efficient fundraising tool.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, Auctria lets you create a very powerful, but easy-to-use, auction. You can run <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/online-silent-auction-right-for-your-organization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silent, live, or virtual auctions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at an affordable rate. While they do streamline auctions and have successfully hosted many auctions, there are some points that seem to be a bother for some organizers, and could also be an issue for you:<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer support is hard to reach, and phone calls are not available for every package tier.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The website design is not their main focus, and therefore can sometimes be an eyesore for bidders.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some, these issues can be overlooked when it comes to organizing auctions, but for others, software that puts more focus on customer support and web design \u2013 such as CharityAuctionsToday \u2013 can be a much better fit.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>6. ClickBid<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/charity-auctions-today-auction-sites-clickbid.jpg\" alt=\"charity-auctions-today-auction-sites-clickbid\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1195\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/clickbidonline.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ClickBid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the charity auction sites that allow schools and nonprofits to raise funds through hybrid events. U<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sing their live auction and video services, you can run a variety of fundraising events through a mobile bidding app. A basic annual event license runs $795 for up to 4 events.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ClickBid does offer many great features, at a fixed price. You can bid your auction plan to your superiors knowing for sure no hidden costs await behind the curtain. However, this also means there is no free option, and while the initial pricing seems like a steal, you will soon realize that many add-ons might be necessary in order to get the full effect \u2013 and that can be quite an effort for smaller auctions and smaller initial budgets.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>7. SilentAuctionPro<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_8488\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"889\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auctions-auction-software-silent-auction-site.png\" alt=\"online-auctions-online-auction-software-silent-auction-pro-website\" width=\"889\" height=\"422\" \/> Online Auction Software: SilentAuctionPro[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.silentauctionpro.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SilentAuctionPro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a web-based multi-user team environment designed to allow for the creation of an online, hybrid, or even in-person auction event. The platform ranges in both pricing and offerings, their services varying from branded receipts to bid sheets and much more.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While they claim to offer hybrid auction options, their plans are either Mobile plans or Bidsheet plans \u2013 exclusive to either virtual or in-person bidding. That can prove to be a bummer for those looking to organize hybrid events.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their vast features and successful software, there is only one thing that could make SilentAuctionPro so much better: <\/span><b>customized plans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as CharityAuctionsToday offers, so all auctioneers (including those looking for hybrid options) can be satisfied with their events.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>8. ReadySetAuction<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_8486\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1104\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auctions-charity-auction-software-ready-set-auction-website.png\" alt=\"online-auctions-online-auction-software-ready-set-auction-website\" width=\"1104\" height=\"723\" \/> Online Auction Software: ReadySetAuction[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetauction.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ReadySetAuction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides solutions for organizing the fundraiser, keeping track of bid sheets, and everything in between. It\u2019s time to allow professionals to keep track of your auction items as well, so you can focus on other important aspects of the auction organizing.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They offer training and support, something incredibly important for any software, especially more complex ones with many features. That is precisely why we put so much focus on training at CharityAuctionsToday as well.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While their features work great, they are definitely on the pricier side. At first, when taking a look at their plans, you may think the cheapest package is a steal \u2013 but after taking a look at all the features you do not get, and that are the stars of their service, such as self-check-out, hosted website and online bidding, you may start to second guess.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>9. 32auctions<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/32Auctions.jpg\" alt=\"32 Auctions\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1195\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.32auctions.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32auctions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stand out from other charity auction sites is their feature for private auction functions. What does that mean? It means that you have the ability to restrict access to your auction event, allowing you to invite a trusted network of participants and eliminating the hassle of bogus bidders.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, is restricting access to possible bidders really something you want when setting up an auction and hoping to maximize profits? CharityAuctionsToday also works on building a trusted community of bidders, by informing all past participants of new auctions, so you can have a well-rounded network of bidders without having to restrict outside access<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with many other auction platforms, 32auctions offers a tiered pricing guide to accommodate your unique needs and even offers a free auction option. However, do keep an eye out for extra fees along the way, and be prepared for bidders to potentially be frustrated or misled by 3rd party ads if you opt for the free plan.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>10. GiveSmart<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auctions-charity-auction-software-give-smart-website.png\" alt=\"online-auctions-auction-software-give-smart-website\" width=\"1061\" height=\"660\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.givesmart.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GiveSmart<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> specializes in building and developing charity auction websites for hundreds of people around the world.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of their highest selling points, however, is the support they provide throughout the fundraising process \u2013 they will assign their clients a dedicated event coordinator the moment auction planning begins, and they will provide valuable advice on everything from selecting and pricing items to establishing an event timeline. The same thing we look to offer through our <\/span><b>Auction Success Managers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if that wasn\u2019t enough, once the auction is planned and ready to go, GiveSmart will secure, collect, and protect all payments made at your event, and release funds in as little as ten days.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, be aware that GiveSmart offers no free auction options, and while it suits non-profits, schools, and even hospitals, it shouldn\u2019t be your number one choice for personal fundraising.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>11. OneCause<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/onecause-1024x489.jpg\" alt=\"Onecause\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onecause.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OneCause<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a pioneer of the online auction world, alongside CharityAuctionsToday and 24Fundraiser, with over 8 years of industry experience and 250 fundraising professionals up their sleeve. They are a great choice if you are looking for more than just auction sites, as they offer guidance via phone, email, an online knowledge base and even web-based guided tours.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, if you choose to work with them, be prepared to commit right away, as no free trials and free options are offered. For traditional auctions, they might be the perfect fit for you \u2013 but keep in mind that reverse auctions are not a feature offered by OneCause.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>12. BiddingForGood<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/online-auctions-auction-software-biddingforgood-1024x468.png\" alt=\"online-auctions-charity-auction-software-bidding-for-good-website\" width=\"1024\" height=\"468\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biddingforgood.com\/auction\/biddingforgood.action\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BiddingForGood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a charitable eCommerce organization that offers a cloud-based auction platform where consumers can create fundraising events for their organizations.\u00a0 They are a reputable online charity auction site that can help any organization reach its fundraising goals, and they have helped countless charities secure much-needed funds.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their pricing starts from $249, but keep in mind that their credit card processing fee is higher compared to others (3.8% compared to 2.9%), and they charge a 9% fee for auction proceeds \u2013 both higher than CharityAuctionsToday.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>13. GoFundMe<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GoFundMe-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"GoFundMe\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GoFundMe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the most well-known fundraising platforms. It\u2019s free, as they operate through donors themselves \u2013 only pay if you want to help them further sustain their platform.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While GoFundMe is an extremely popular solution for <em>personal<\/em> fundraising tailored to the use case, it\u2019s not an optimal option for non-profit fundraisers, and it\u2019s definitely not for charity auctions. If you\u2019re trying to raise money for a personal need, then go ahead. But if you are looking to organize a good auction for charity proceeds, you should stick to established platforms that are specifically designed for that.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If someone is hoping to raise donations for a surgery they need, some medication, or even sometimes silly things such as concert tickets and other personal pleasures, their donations link will more often than not take you to a GoFundMe page.<\/span>\r\n<h2><strong>It\u2019s Time to Plan Your Online Charity Event.<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running an online auction event might seem like a daunting task at first, but with the right auction sites and auction software by your side, it turns into stress-free planning of successful fundraising \u2013 in short, more money with less hassle.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ready to have fun and raise money quickly and efficiently, it\u2019s time to take the first step and download our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/go.charityauctionstoday.com\/Account\/Login?ReturnUrl=\/auction-blueprint\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auction Profit Blueprint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you feel like you are ready to get straight to the action and learn about our auction features hands-on? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/auctions\/new\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a go at creating a demo auction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in no more than 5 minutes.<\/span>","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[371,367],"tags":[420,422,145,366,402,421,4],"series":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10585"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10585"}],"version-history":[{"count":249,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29368,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10585\/revisions\/29368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10585"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.charityauctionstoday.com\/p\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=10585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
