Host an online auction! It’s a straightforward concept: the highest bidder takes home the prize! Offerings can range from a variety of goods, services, and experiences. Some of the most sought-after items are those that are unique or difficult to procure but that supporters might be willing to contribute. Most participants will bid on items that pique their interest—especially when it’s in support of a worthy cause!

Here’s how it works:

• Reach out to your network, whether it’s friends, family, or local businesses, to donate items.
• Manage bids manually or utilize silent auction software to streamline the process. This software handles bids, notifies supporters of being outbid, and manages payments once the auction concludes.
• Spread the word about the silent auction.
• Legacy Place Society can furnish a letter authenticating the auction, which will include our Charitable Registration Number.
