How AI is used

Charity Auctions Today is a fundraising platform designed to support various auction formats, including online, live, and hybrid events. It uses mobile-first bidding and provide a single dashboard for organizers to manage items and participants.

The software is designed for nonprofits, schools, PTOs, and community groups. It helps these organizations coordinate event-night logistics such as guest check-in, paddle raises, and real-time total tracking, while supporting the checkout process for winners.

Buyers should confirm that while the platform is free to build, costs are performance-based and applied when the event goes live. Organizations can choose whether these fees are covered by the organization, the bidders, or a combination of both.

The system also includes tools for ticketing and raffles, allowing organizers to keep registration and payment flows centralized.
