What GiveBid is

GiveBid is charity auction software for nonprofits, schools, foundations, and churches running online, mobile, and live fundraising auctions. Teams can create events, set bidding rules, and give team members access to manage auction activity. For item setup, AI can turn basic item details into auction titles, descriptions, and suggested starting bids. Bidders can register, browse lots, place bids, and follow their activity through a browser or the GiveBid mobile app.

GiveBid supports real-time bidding for online and live fundraising events and sends notifications when a bidder is outbid. At in-person events, donors can scan item codes to open lot details and bid from their phones. Reporting tools track bidder activity, item performance, and donation totals in real time. The service also handles donor registration, payment processing, and winner checkout through automated workflows. Listed event types include annual galas, benefit auctions, corporate and community fundraisers, school and church fundraisers, foundation events, and auctions featuring high-value donated items. GiveBid is available on web, Android, and iOS. Its homepage offers a demo request, while software plan prices are available on request. The product is powered by Gavel Auction Software.
