There are a lot of ways to raise money for your school, church, or nonprofit organization. Our software focuses primarily on event fundraising — galas, golf tournaments, carnivals, fun runs, and auctions.
These events raise money through a variety of fundraising activities: silent auctions, live auctions, online auctions, raffles, ticket sales, fund-a-need appeals, and merch sales. This activity happens in-person, online, or a combination of both.
SchoolAuction.net also includes advanced donation pages for groups that want to run year-round campaigns, Giving Tuesday campaigns, etc. with embeddable buttons to add your organization's own website.
SchoolAuction.net has multiple different pricing options, including a sliding-scale option for small fundraisers. All of these options are presented in detail on the pricing page of the website. We also have a calculator you can use to see exactly what the cost would be for your event.
