What it is
GiveBid is paid charity-auction software for nonprofits, schools, foundations, and churches running online, mobile, or live fundraising events. Teams can create events, set bidding rules, and assign team members to manage auction activity. An AI lot tool generates item titles, descriptions, and suggested starting bids from basic details. Bidders register, browse lots, place bids, and follow activity in a browser or Android and iOS app. Real-time bidding works for online and live events, with instant outbid notifications. At in-person auctions, donors scan item codes to open lot details and bid by phone. Reporting tracks bidder activity, item performance, and donation totals in real time. GiveBid also handles donor registration, payment processing, and winner checkout through automated workflows. The service lists galas, benefit auctions, corporate and community fundraisers, school and church events, foundation events, and high-value donated-item auctions. Pricing is on request.
