This is *just* what I needed!, Aug 30 2004
By John V. Hedtke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Benefit Auctions: A Fresh Formula for Grassroots Fundraising (Paperback)
I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how extraordinarily impressed I am with "Benefit Auctions: A Fresh Formula for Grassroots Fundraising" by Sandy Bradley.In the past, I've had occasion to run auctions for several non-profit organizations, both church and professional. I did okay winging it, but it wasn't easy. I had a problem collecting donations, getting the auction publicized, and keeping things running smoothly. It worked, but I always felt that it'd be a lot smoother if I knew what I was doing.
Then I read "Benefit Auctions: A Fresh Formula for Grassroots Fundraising." Within the first few chapters, I saw that one of my biggest problems with meeting my expected goals was that I hadn't set my goals correctly. The "times 2" rule explained it all. I also learned how to do much better solicitation of goods and services from donors (and how to find new donors!). The suggestions for how to set up processes also eliminated a major headache for the volunteers and--best of all--showed me how to speed up the payment and checkout procedures, which had been a real bottleneck in the past.
I haven't yet had a chance to try all of these techniques yet, but I am confident that I'm going to be able to double the income through increased donations while spending slightly less effort to publicize and run the auction. On behalf of my customers and my volunteers, thank you!

This review is from: Benefit Auctions: A Fresh Formula for Grassroots Fundraising (Paperback)
I'm just getting started in fundraising auctions and I've read everything I can get my hands on. I should have started and stopped with this book. I've bought extra copies to give to the nonprofits I'm working with so they'll know how to do it right.
