You’re looking to improve your auction, create a new auction, or increase your fundraising and reduce your workload. This is the class for you. An all day session that will be broken into two parts. The morning session will be an introduction to auctions. The afternoon session will look at your strategy.

For those interested in an auction planning overview, day one of our training will give you auctions from A to Z. For those who have previously attended our trainings or would like a more in-depth look at specific components to your fundraising event we have four additional classes that are focused on sponsorship, budgets, program, and day of event fundraising.

Join us for a full day on Monday July 21st to cover auctions from top to bottom:

June 21st 9am–4pm—$65
Auctions from Idea to Event Day


We have created a two-part workshop that is perfect for development directors, development coordinators, and volunteer committee chairs. The morning session will focus on the steps of getting an auction started. The afternoon session will take a more advanced look at your strategies and fundraising. Each session will look at case studies and examples of “dos” and “don’ts” of planning.
