Online Auction Software
Online auctions are the best way to raise money quickly with very little start up capital. Use social media to give people around the world the opportunity to bid on your items. No Items? No Worries! We have Risk Free Items available that you can easily add to your auction. This is a great way to take the stress of running a live silent auction off your shoulders. Setup your auction, add items, and launch it to the world. Sit back and watch the bids roll in.
Mobile Auction Software
Mobile bidding will open your auction to additional bidders and increased bids. Even if bidders can’t attend your gala or golf outing, they can still bid on your auction items. Mobile bidding lets the bidders stay involved with the auction process throughout the night. A text message alerts them when they are outbid. New bids can be placed from their mobile phone or tablet. Most of our clients are raising at least 50% more with mobile bidding.
Easy Check Out
Once the auction closes, you can invoice the winners from the website. We make checkout simple and very quick. Winners of multiple items will have all items listed on just one invoice. Payments can be made automatically using their pre-registered credit card. The payments collected go directly into your own bank account or you can request a paper check.
Live Auction Management
Easily upload attendees into the system, register guests and manage your volunteers with the click of a button. On the night of your event, register and check in guests from any mobile device. Assign bidder numbers, table assignments and pre-register credit cards. It's simple, easy and affordable. This is why our users love us.

How we started and why
Charity Auctions Today was started back in 2007. The owner, Tom Kelly, was helping his mother look for a way to run an online charity auction for a local non profit. After searching the few online charity auction companies, he found that every company charged huge upfront fees and a large percentage fee on the money raised. With the local non profit raising an average of $3000 per auction, after the upfront cost and the huge performance fee, the non profit would be left with almost nothing.
With that in mind, Tom thought he could do much better. He created a simple online charity auction software platform for the local non profit. After the success of the first auction and the fact that the non profit organization was able to keep more of the money raised, word quickly spread. Tom had more and more organizations wanting to use his site and he quickly found that his simple auction software platform was turning into a game changer.
Since 2007 we have helped 4500+ of the world's top non profits and schools raise over $85 million dollars.
