Fun Auction Idea - Sign-Up Parties

If you’re looking for a new idea for your charity fundraising gala, consider hosting a signup party. Signup parties allow guest to buy a limited spot in order to participate in an exclusive event. An example of a typical party would be a buy-in at a mother-daughter tea party at a donor’s house. During the silent auction portion of your event donors buy a spot at the tea party for a fixed price. Here’s an example of a signup party at one of my fundraising events.

Consider adding a signup party to your next charity auction or silent auction as a great way to encourage full participation at your event. With a lower price point than other silent auction items, more attendees will participate in your event and the events end up creating community among your donors. Here are some additional ideas for signup parties you can use at your next fundraiser:

Men’s poker night
100 point wine dinner
Hike with a CEO
Ladies bike ride
Adult board game night
Backyard concert and bbq
