Benefit Auctions
Budget Development
Creating a budget will be one of the most significant tasks of the event planning process. A well thought out budget will allow you to accurately estimate the costs associated with your event so you can project the income generated by the event. Sponsorships and Underwriting can significantly impact your budget by reducing the organizations costs to produce the event and allowing a greater percentage of the monies raised to go directly to the organizations mission. We will help you create a budget that will include all of the major expenses associated with your event.
Committee Development
The number of committees needed to successfully execute the event will be determined in large part by the size of the event and the number of individuals an organization is able to dedicate to the event. When planning the event, committees may be necessary for the carrying out of the following tasks. The assignment of individuals into groups should be done based on the strengths of those individuals.
- Budget Development and Implementation
- Sponsorship and Underwriting
- Event Coordination and Execution

Revenue Enhancers
The ability to raise funds beyond the monies raised by the sale of items at the auction will have a significant impact on the success of your event. Company President Craig M. Sloan holds the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist Designation. This prestigious designation held by less than 1% of auctioneers demonstrates Craig’s commitment to the field of benefit auctions and his ability to help you maximize the revenue generated by your event.
Admission
It is important to remember that people who come to a benefit auction attend because they believe in the cause and want to support what the organization is doing. The opportunities to be the high bidder on an item at the auction are limited. Not everyone will be able to be a successful bidder, so it is important to give everyone a number of opportunities to support the organization at the level of giving with which they feel most comfortable. One way to do this is through the admission process. We will show you how to structure the admission to your event to maximize this stream of revenue.
