From bake sales to swanky galas, there are countless ways to raise money and awareness for meaningful causes of all sizes. But move over Rice Krispie squares, there’s a new way to raise money for your cause or charity!
Through online auctions, charities and nonprofits can not only reach more people from all over the globe in a cost effective way, but, potentially can raise much more money than Grandma’s snickerdoodles can. (No offense to Grandma) With online auctions, the sky is the limit!
There are great examples of online auction benefits done on a much larger scale. There have been auctions to benefit the victims of earthquakes in Haiti and China, Hurricane Katrina, and even soldiers severely injured in the War in Iraq. There is even an online auction website dedicated to raising money for charities and causes, www.celebritiesforcharities.com. A popular auction that is going on right now is a Super Bowl ring belonging to last year’s champs, the New Orleans Saints to benefit the victims of the Gulf Oil Spill. This one has a twist though, instead of bidding, you buy tickets as you would in a raffle, more tickets bought equal more chances to win!
Online auctions to benefit a cause are easy to operate. It is not necessary to recreate the wheel and set up a new website, there are plenty of sites ready and waiting for you to use. So, let’s start raising money to help those in need!
