Connect ClickBid to the Tools You Love
From PTA auctions to alumni galas, ClickBid keeps your fundraiser simple for the volunteers running it and impressive for the guests attending.
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.
ClickBid supports schools and universities with fundraising and event tools that are easy for first-time volunteers to learn and reliable enough for advancement officers to trust year after year
Load items, set starting bids, and customize your event page in a single day. No developer, no IT, no manual required.
Donors can expect their information to be handled carefully. ClickBid supports secure, PCI-compliant payment processing across all areas of our software.
Parents, alumni, and grandparents can bid from their phones without downloading an app or creating a password.
Galas, golf outings, class competitions, homecoming events, PTA fundraisers, and alumni giving campaigns all run on the same easy platform.
Every ClickBid event comes with a dedicated event night support contact, including 24-hour support help, so your team isn’t troubleshooting alone.
Know your costs up front. No hidden fees or donor tips eating into what your school worked hard to raise.
Board members change. Volunteers rotate. ClickBid stays consistent, so next year’s committee doesn’t start from zero.
We make it easy to share data with the tools you love: ClickBid syncs your donor and event data straight to your CRM.
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.
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.
Automatic checkout, receipts, and reporting mean your treasurer isn’t reconciling the spreadsheet for two weeks after your event ends.
Our software will protect your organization and your donors’ data at every stage.
Whether it’s a single elementary school auction or a university-wide advancement office running multiple annual events, ClickBid allows flexibility and scalability all in one place.
Volunteers and staff can pick it up fast because your committee changes every year, and nobody has time to relearn a complicated system.
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.
From Setup to Checkout, ClickBid makes it easier to launch your fundraiser, engage supporters, and reconcile with confidence.
Add items, photos, descriptions, starting bids, fair market values, categories, and donor recognition to your digital auction catalog.
Let supporters create their own fundraising pages, share them with friends and family, and track progress toward a shared goal.
Sell tickets online, collect guest information and meal selections and keep track of table assignments, all in one place.
Add donation forms to your event page or website so supporters can give toward your cause any time of year, not just on event night.
Your biggest fundraiser is not the time to be left figuring out software on your own.
ClickBid gives nonprofits access to phone support before, during, and after their auctions. From setup questions and event preparation to troubleshooting when bidding is underway, our team is here to help you create a smoother experience for staff, volunteers, and supporters.
