No-Cost Auction Item Ideas For Churches and Schools
No-cost auction items make it easier to build out your auction and raise more money for your organization.
Churches and schools are in a unique position to source items because within their audience are people connected to small businesses, corporations, individual businesses/service offerings, artists, craftspeople, musicians, and more.
To use these items in your auction, solicit items from your congregation and ask the donor to provide photos and a description of the item along with the estimated value. If this is a general item, such as principal for a day, use free stock photos available on freepik.com and write a general description of the item to determine a starting bid that is appropriate for your audience.
In addition to the items you can collect from your audience, Faithbid has 200+ risk-free in our Risk-Free Auction Item Shop. Log in to your auction portal and click Visit Item Shop.
