Fundraising Software for Schools and Universities

From PTA auctions to alumni galas, ClickBid keeps your fundraiser simple for the volunteers running it and impressive for the guests attending.

Why School Fundraising is Different

Your event isn’t run by a professional events team. It’s run by volunteers, parents, development officers, a booster club president, or a student council advisor, someone juggling a lot of other responsibilities on top of “figure out the auction software”. 

That’s exactly who we build for. 

Most platforms are designed for full-time event planners. When a volunteer or stretched-thin staff member logs in for the first time, that complexity becomes their problem during setup and on event night, when parents, alumni, and donors are watching. 

ClickBid is built the other way around: powerful enough to run a luxury fundraiser, simple enough that the person running it isn’t a seasoned pro.

Talk with Our Team

Your Partner at Every Stage of the Event

BEFORE

Build your auction catalog, set up ticketing, assign volunteer roles, and get your event page live, with support available while you set it all up.

DURING

Guests check in, bid from their phones, and get outbid alerts in real time, while your team tracks revenue as it happens instead of waiting until all the paperwork is finished.

AFTER

Automatic checkout, receipts, and reporting mean your treasurer isn’t reconciling the spreadsheet for two weeks after your event ends.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

ClickBid is our go to auction platform – we needed something with a user friendly front end that was attractive and cost friendly. It checks so many boxes for our organization that we have expanded our usage into other areas such as booth rentals for our fundraising events. It is such a great tool.
