HOW IT WORKS
501 Auctions makes it simple for charities to create their auction catalog, collect bids, and process payments for fundraising events. We do this by integrating our revolutionary mobile bidding system with an online catalog so each of your members can bid from any smartphone or computer. At the end of the night, all winning credit cards are charged with the click of a button, eliminating both your stress and the infamous checkout line.

501 Auctions works with charitable organizations large and small to hold great fundraisers. We realize that each organization and event is different, and we would love to learn more about yours. Please contact us for more information or to discuss if 501 is the right partner for your cause.
