See how The Salvation Army in Greater Charlotte made the switch from paper bidding to a very successful online auction! Our co-founder, Dee Brannick, chatted with the Salvation Army's Beth Butchino recently about how she changed from paper to an online silent auction for an event in 2021 and has never looked back. They now raise more, with way less manpower, and feedback from event guests has been really positive. Check out the video for insights on how Beth and the team achieved all of this.

What an incredible few days at AFP ICON in Seattle! GalaBid’s Co-Founder, Dee Brannick, had the pleasure of attending alongside Peter Hair - one of their standout moments being the ‘Future of Fundraising Events’ panel discussion. Huge credit to Emily Newberry, Samantha Swaim, Mike Wilkinson and Jennifer McNulty for sharing so many practical, actionable insights for fundraisers. We had fantastic conversations with fellow fundraisers and suppliers, and it’s a reminder of what a supportive, inspiring community this sector is.
