Host an auction (silent, live or online)
Ask for contributions of unique items, a stay at a timeshare, handmade cra s, gi
cards to local stores, services such as massages and facials, and create an auction.
ere are several ways to auction your items:
You can hold a live auction at your workplace over lunch, or
during a big fundraising event, party or concert that you are hosting.
A silent auction can be held open for as long as you want. For
example, you could create a silent auction at your church that is open for bids
for a month, or a silent auction that is open only during a party or a concert.
EBay is a good place to create an online silent auction. Spread
the word to your social network via Facebook and email, promoting the start and
end dates for the auction, the link to the auction page, and some of the premium
items you will be selling. Send an email about one week before to excite people,
an email on the day it starts and then another one a day before the auction ends.
A er the auction, thank all of your purchasers (and people who donated auction
items) and tell them how much you were able to raise through their support.
