Charity Auction Compensation > Philosophy
Keep Your Charity Auction Fundraising Money!
A Society Benefit Charity Auction provides interactive
charity auction entertainment, maximum fundraiser profit profit, and an honest
charity event fundraiser where your organization
receives 100% of the total dollars bid.
No Charge to Charities
We believe that as a charitable organization that you should keep all
the profit! We also believe that you should NOT pay any out-of-pocket
expenses for our charity auction fundraiser services. Therefore, we encourage you to use the Buyer's
Premium as the method of charity auction compensation.
Over 75% of our clients choose not
to pay for our services!
Most of our clients choose the Buyer's Premium, an additional contribution made
on behalf of the organization by the
highest bidder that effectively underwrites all the professional charity auction
services you receive from Society Benefits during the 11 months prior
to your charity auction fundraiser.
