At Event.Gives, we’ve been to hundreds of galas, and we’ve seen it all. Based on our experience, this event flow is the best way to engage your attendees and encourage bidding and donating; we have the data to see what increases fundraising and what doesn't. By scheduling your live auction before your paddle raise, you allow your bidders not to hold back on bidding wars, and also allow those who don’t win any live auction items to give and be recognized, without leaving any money on the table. We think it’s important to have an inspiring speaker or video between the live auction and paddle raise to remind your audience why they are there, and why they should donate–to bring the room back to its mission. Integrate an exciting game into the final, lowest paddle raise amount so that guests leave the event smiling ear to ear.
