Online Bidding with Greater Giving


What You Can Expect

This year’s auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing for a paperless bidding system, and allowing you to easily track Packages by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.  You will simply use your smartphone or tablet to bid on silent auction items (no app required!); if you don't have a smartphone/tablet, we will have Bid Assistants on hand to help place your bids. 

Online Bidding laptop and mobile side by side with menu.
