Have you been thinking about getting into the fundraising game? Now is the time and we are excited to announce why!
Thanks to this year’s matching opportunity from The Wasie Foundation, proceeds from five new virtual auctions will be matched up to $1,000 each! We are looking for five volunteer fundraisers to step up and take on this challenge. The A-TCP will be there to guide you every step of the way!
Emily (26) has A-T and hosted her own virtual auction last summer.
What does hosting a virtual auction entail?
- Working with A-TCP staff to get set up on 32auctions – our easy, user-friendly virtual auction platform
- Soliciting item donations from members of your community
- Uploading photos and descriptions of each item to the auction website
- Spreading the word about the auction to friends and family
- Sharing the auction link with your community!
See our blog post from August for tips from the Wier family who raised over $18,000 with their Links for Lincoln virtual auction last summer. Also check out the A-TCP how-to guide that gives you an idea of what the platform is like. We recommend starting to plan your auction at least three to four months out.
