10 Steps to a Successful Charity Auction

If fundraising auctions are part of your plans or your future, you owe it to yourself to come to our seminar. We are on site for more than 30 auctions a year and all have improved their performance and their results.

We promise to provide you with new ideas to make your auction a first class event. To date more than 500 non-profit professionals and volunteers have attended our seminars and improved their auctions. Our recent tour in California was attended by a total of 130 auction personnel and a swing through Florida drew 85 volunteers and staff.

Maureen and John Winter have supervised the on-site checkout of more than 300 auctions and will bring all that knowledge and experience to your organization and create a totally individualized plan to guarantee the successful conclusion of your fundraising event.

In addition to managing auctions on-site, the Winters have published “Going...Going...Gone!“ a 226-page workbook invaluable in easing the volunteer process. They have just published their second book, “The Winning Bidder Is“ and developed their own auction management software, Auction CheckoutPro.
