What does nonprofit auction software do?
Auction software runs the bidding, payments, and pickup for a fundraising night. Bless Events runs silent auctions, live auctions, and paddle raises in the same place as your other events. Bidders get a paddle, bid, pay, and collect, and volunteers get roles for the door, the floor, spotting, and pickup. Auctions are on the Pro plan.
