How it works
Registered in seconds. Bidding all night.
Once registered, guests can buy raffle tickets, bid on silent auction items, make pledges, and pay — all from their phone, in real time, without leaving their seat. The silent auction runs continuously throughout the evening, with automatic outbid alerts keeping the competition alive until the very last second.
The platform behind this is GalaBid — purpose-built for fundraising events since 2012, running around 40,000 events globally each year. Features like fund-a-need, paddle raise, and donor receipt automation are built in, not bolted on. As the exclusive GalaBid representative in Asia, Shaun configures and manages the platform for your specific event — giving your organisation dedicated, region-specific expertise rather than generic platform onboarding.

What this looks like in practice
Pre-event
Shaun works with you to build your bespoke digital fundraising destination. Together you decide which features and prizes will drive maximum yield, what should be silent and what should be live, and how to structure pledges and raffles to complement the fundraising momentum.
On the night
Shaun arrives early, briefs your AV and events teams, and ensures your team know how to help guests register and pay. When the event ends, most payments should be collected and your post-event fund total displayed for all contributors to celebrate.
“Over $156,000 raised for Gender Equality. We achieved a 35% increase in online registration, 91% of auction items sold versus 86% the previous year, and actual auction sales reached 146% of projected revenue.”
