How we help

Simply put, we provide everything you need for a highly profitable auction. We provide a staff of highly qualified auctioneers, great auction prizes such as incredible trips, exquisite jewelry, valuable sports memorabilia, a fast, efficient checkout, and help with every step of the auction and event planning. As one client said, “AFA did all the work, we got all the profits!”

Our work is probably best summed up in the words of one hospital foundation executive who said “Because of the magic you do, we can perform the miracles we do.”

American Fundraising Auctions began nearly 20 years ago by organizing an auction fundraiser for local children facing life threatening illnesses, children who were falling through the cracks of our health care system. From there, our client list grew to include hospitals, colleges and universities, patient services, organizations, foundations, churches, AIDS awareness and scores of other charities, as well as community and political events.

Although every auction is different in its execution, they all have the same goal: to raise the maximum amount of money in the shortest amount of time by providing unforgettable entertainment, outstanding service and auction prizes that keep your organization’s supporters intrigued, involved and delighted.

Whether you wish to add a live auction component to an event you’ve been holding for years or want an auction that IS the event itself, American Fundraising Auctions can help you add tens of thousands of dollars to your bottom line.

One important point: The auction event itself, the actual bid calling, is like the tip of an iceberg. Bid calling only makes up 10% of the total work we do to give you a great auction. From early planning, to working with your committees, to acquiring valuable prizes for your auction (such as luxury overseas trips, fine jewelry, valuable sports memorabilia and more), to auction administration, check-in and check-out, through conducting a great auction itself, we do it all for you.

Experienced fundraisers know that post auction management of travel packages can be exceptionally time consuming. Our full-time experienced travel agent handles the details for you. Your most valued contributors will appreciate our extraordinary level of service such as pre-arranged deluxe dining arrangements, exclusive side trips and flawless handling of other special considerations.

In addition to the extra income, we also add entertainment value and variety to your event. It’s easy when you deal with licensed professionals who have years of experience...and success.
