Benefit Bidding

Benefit Bidding has been providing extensive auction planning and consulting to charitable organizations since 1990.

We love what we do and we do it well!

We are full-time fundraising auction professionals with extensive training, education and over 20 years of experience. However, the benefit auction industry is much more than a business to us. Our dedication to empowering charitable organizations to achieve and exceed their fundraising goals has been, and always will be, a significant part of our personal lives. When you hire us, you can rest assured we put our heart, as well as our professional skills and knowledge, into making your benefit auction successful. Our founding auctioneer was honored by a client as “Auctioneer Extraordinaire” after helping the organization raise over $1 million.

We conduct benefit auctions of all types – including online.

Whether you need assistance with an online auction or a fundraising event which incorporates live, big board, silent, and online auctions (or a combination thereof), we provide a customized solution for your organization. We have conducted live auctions for intimate gatherings of 30 people to fundraising galas with over 1000 guests. We are one of the few benefit auction firms offering custom branded online auction services – and we possess the technological skills necessary to support your online auction. We do not “outsource” your online auction to a third party.

We make your auctions fun!

People are more generous when they are happy. We work hard to ensure your bidders, whether online or at a live auction, have fun! Our online auction website is simple to use so your online bidders will find it easy to bid. We help you design a live event which your guests will motivate your guest to open their wallets! Our auction team is composed of outgoing individuals who possess the ability to assist bidders in a professional, yet friendly, manner. We dress appropriately for your event…we are comfortable in costumes, tuxedos, or anything in between. Your guests will have a great time and spend. Best of all, they will want to come back to attend and spend -- year after year!

We believe in the value of fundraising auctions.

You will raise funds through a time tested method. Records from ancient Greek scribes document auctions occurring as far back as 500 B.C. In addition to raising funds, your benefit auction will promote your group’s mission and educate your community – and set the stage for obtaining new benefactors. When we host your online auction, your custom designed auction website provides a world of new bidders – and supporters – of your organization.

We honor your organization and represent it professionally.

When you select us to partner with you for your benefit auction – whether live or online - you have entrusted us to serve as official representatives of your organization and its cause. We never forget this.

We limit our business to benefit auctions only.

The auction industry in includes over 20 specialties. In 1990, we carefully and thoughtfully made the decision to assist charitable organizations exclusively. We are committed to your benefit auction - it is not a “sideline” activity for us. If you are going to hire a fundraising auction team, doesn’t make sense to hire one exclusively dedicated to helping charitable organizations?

We conduct ourselves as the professionals we are.

Graciousness and civility are always in style. We hold your organization and its mission in high regard. We respect every guest and volunteer. We respond to phone calls and emails promptly. We arrive early and well prepared for all meetings and events. Our team abstains from drinking alcohol and smoking at all functions.

We continually have fresh and creative ideas.

To obtain exciting revenue producing ideas for your benefit auction, we communicate regularly with fundraising specialists around the country. We are members of the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) and the Texas Auctioneers Association (TAA). We participate in TAA seminars and conventions, NAA convention, NAA Benefit Auction Summit, Fundraising Auction Academy and have completed the comprehensive NAA Benefit Auction Specialist course.
