“FUND A NEED” or “PADDLE RAISE”:

When searching for a fundraising auctioneer, you'll find that Charity Gala Auctions often exude an air of exclusivity. Despite a limited number of Live Auction and Silent Auction items, these events often boast a sizable guest list. So, what's the implication here? If you depend solely on auctions for your primary revenue source, you might engage a maximum of 40 individual donors out of the 500 gala attendees. But what about the remaining 460 guests? How can you integrate them into your mission and fundraising endeavors? The solution lies in the "Fund a Need" or "Paddle Raise"!

Whether it's referred to as Fund A Need, Cash Call, Paddle Raise, or Raise the Paddle, these terms all represent one essential concept: creating an opportunity for 100% of your audience to align with your mission. We collaborate with you to construct this pure philanthropic moment, allowing each guest to seamlessly transition into a donor by raising their paddle.

Our committed Fundraising Staff partners with you to articulate your mission and convey its impact while making a compelling and tactful request, ensuring there are no uncomfortable silences in the room. Our consultants play a pivotal role in orchestrating this invaluable moment and optimizing contributions from every available source.
