A true Step by Step Fundraising manual that takes you by hand and shows you exactly how to create a successful Silent Auction Fundraiser.

This guide includes a full Toolkit of forms and worksheets that will save you hours of work!

Take a look at the Table of Contents

Live auctions, raffles and of course silent auctions often bring in the bulk of the funds raised at special events – not ticket revenues. Silent auctions are one of the best fundraisers to add to an event and they are quite scalable. You can have a great silent auction with just a dozen items or a high profit auction with hundreds of items.

No matter what size silent auction you are planning, this guidebook will help you every step of the way. You’ll save hours of work when you follow the tips related to publicity, getting auction items and the planning timeline. Best of all, you’ll get customizable templates and forms that will make planning so much faster and easier.

Silent Auction Timeline (page 12)
How to Recruit and Manage Volunteers (pages 15-17)
Types of Auction Items & Examples of each (page 22-25)
How to Get Auction Items Donated (pages 26-28)

Silent Auction Strategies in Action

Not only will you get Step by Step instructions, the Tookit full of forms and files, you’ll also hear from people who have run their own silent auctions.

The Madison County Humane Society in Ohio has successfully raised money with a silent and live auction for several years. Betty Peyton gives us tips on how they raised $13,486 with a big dinner/silent auction and $6000 with an additional small dinner/silent auction in the spring.

Toolkit Saves You Countless Hours

Using the Toolkit files you’ll be able to save countless hours. Instead of creating these forms from scratch, they are already done for you. Start with these forms and adjust, edit and add information as needed.

You’ll get these tools, worksheets and forms:

I am excited about everything that I learned this year, and am already planning to learn more for next years event. I really feel that I would never have been as successful without the help of your web site. - Helen Johnson
