Fall is in full swing!

Fall is in full swing this year, fundraising events are happening almost every weekend now.  Donors are giving strategically, locally and are becoming much more selective when is comes to giving in this economy. Your guests want to be more involved in how their money is being used, they are giving more but....to fewer organizations.

79% of Americans give to their favorite charity. According to research 16.3 Billion has been raised by trained Benefit Auction Specialists the National Association of Auctioneers reports show auctioneers with this expertise raise twice as much as their fellow auctioneers.

These fundraising events take a lot of time to plan and are labor intensive, however, you have to perfect opportunity for one event to focus on the mission of your organization, educate the donor about what you have done and the future you are planning.

 We are finding guests are leaving 30-45 minutes earlier, so less is more and it is important to condense your timeline for the evening.  The donors have to be ready to give and emotionally prepared in a very short amount of time. That's where your trained fundraising auctioneer can be a real asset to the evening.

Moran Auctions are currently working with organizations as a Benefit Auction consultant and Auctioneer for their fall and winter events, some dates are still open if you need to call on us.
2013 Spring is looking really fun and exciting, it is not to early to book your Fundraising Auctioneer.

Have a wonderful fundraising season and raise those paddles for your great cause!
