What it is
GiveBid is charity auction software for nonprofits, schools, foundations, and churches holding online, mobile, or live fundraising auctions. Teams can configure events and bidding rules and grant team members access to manage auction activity. AI can turn basic item details into auction titles, descriptions, and suggested starting bids. Bidders can register, browse items, place bids, and follow activity in a browser or the GiveBid mobile app. The service supports real-time bidding and sends outbid notifications; at live events, donors can scan item codes to open lot details and bid from their phones. Reporting tracks bidder activity, item performance, and donation totals in real time. GiveBid also automates donor registration, payment processing, and winner checkout. Listed event uses include galas, benefit auctions, corporate and community fundraisers, school and church events, foundation events, and auctions of high-value donated items. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request, and the homepage offers a demo request. GiveBid says it is powered by Gavel Auction Software.
