Collect Donations for your Givergy Auction

Givergy is a leading provider of auction services who provide a great funding raising solution that is used by many not-for-profit organisations.

The Challenge

Givergy require you to give them a CSV file that contains the details of all your auction lots and correctly named images for each of the lots. Getting and organising this data can take a lot of time and any mistakes can be expensive to fix and damage your relationship with the donor.

Our Solution

We will host an auction lot donation form for you in your own shop on Support My Local that has a unique URL for your auction.

You simply send the URL to your donors and they can donate online. Collecting accurate data has never been simpler.

“We prefer a one-to-one relationship and get donations in person or on the phone”

If you want to collect the data yourself we support that as well. Your staff simply complete the donation form themselves. Donors are automatically sent a copy when the lot is finalised. This makes sure they can check the details and avoids issues like mistyped names.

Your team are given logins to your shop on Support My Local and can view and edit all your donations. When your manager has reviewed and approved all the donation listings they can export a CSV file in Givergy format and a zip file that contains correctly named images for giving to Givergy.

Benefits

Without donors we can’t have an auction and we should give them the best possible service so that they are happy to donate every year. Donors simply compete one form, once and the job is done. No back-and-forth emails and requests for clarification.

Many organisations use volunteer fundraisers to contact donors. These volunteers sign-up to help the organisation but not to be unpaid data-entry clerks. Support My Local helps ensure that your volunteers enjoy working with you and come back next year.

Fundraising managers can easily see the status of the donation campaign. The number of lots and their total value is clearly visible. Managers can edit the description of each lot for accuracy and compliance.
