There are no upfront costs or fees to host an auction with Charitybuzz. We charge a percentage-based fee at the close of a successful auction to ensure a no-risk solution to your fundraising efforts.

80% of the net funds raised is remitted to the charitable beneficiary unless noted otherwise on the individual lot page.

Charitybuzz does not procure high-end items or experiences. Our team of auction experts is here to help you make the most of your fundraising efforts by providing you with best practices, helpful hints, and key tools to unlock the full potential of your network. We will guide your donation requests to ensure your packages appeal to our community of bidders.

Charitybuzz only seeks to offer exclusive items and experiences that we are confident will resonate with our audience of affluent bidders. We have a threshold of $1,000 minimum estimated value for any item or experience. Our success as a platform comes from this curation, guaranteeing quality control over items and experiences offered and ensuring every auction has the potential to thrive. We review donations on a case-by-case basis to determine the best auction strategy.

There are no penalties or fees for a lot that closes with no bids. We can always re-post it in the future.

Yes, however, we recommend that all international nonprofits review their country’s fundraising laws to ensure you’re eligible to engage in auctions as a tool for fundraising.
