6 Tips for Online Charity Auctions

Back when it first became clear that in-person nonprofit events wouldn’t be possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, I recorded a coaching call I had with two nonprofit leaders (Emily and Sydni) to advise them on planning their very first virtual fundraiser. With their permission, I released the call recording on May 1 in an episode called “Advice for Your First Virtual Fundraising Event”. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Sydni talks about the results of their online auction and shares some tips from my Silent and Online Auction Guide!

In this week’s episode of the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Jenni highlights a few high-quality professional development activities which can all be completed online.
