Online Auction Platforms For Nonprofits

iRostrum has been committed to supporting Charities and organisations running not-for-profit fundraising auctions from the outset, offering significant discounts on our rates to maximise the fundraising

We’re proud to have worked with numerous charities over the years, powering their auctions to help maximise their important fundraising initiatives. Our Charity Partners have the choice:

Run a single auction event as a one-off, our no-commitment contract means you can launch your auction to run for only as long as you need it
Join our long-standing Charity Partners who run one or two event annually but know that keeping their auction platform active between events helps them raise donations and awareness for the next event.

Our pricing model means that you only pay for what you're using making this a low cost viable solution.

With a quick launch and easy intuitive admin tools you can have your charity auction set up in no time at all so you can focus your efforts where it matters most, on building awareness for your cause, confident that their donors and bidders will have a seamless experience.

Running successful auctions online can make a substantial contribution to raising your online presence.

Expand your global profile online

With built in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), hosting your charity auctions on your own branded auction website will build your online profile and brand awareness. Your charity is kept central to your donor interactions and you retain complete control and ownership of invaluable data to build on for future events.

Keep your eyes on the prize with simple & efficient management tools

We know your priority is on fundraising for your event, not managing an auction business. Simple end-to-end auction management tools will help you step by step.

Raise more money for your cause

Our simple, cost effective pricing plan means no long term commitment and no commission. You only pay for what you use. Most importantly we don't charge any % commission fees.

"Since 2017 iRostrum has supported the Real World Conservation Trust, a unique charity who work to raise awareness about the threats facing the world’s most iconic species and their habitats while also raising significant funds for nominated projects pivotal in the battle to protect them.

As official sponsors to their inaugural Explorers Against Extinction iRostrum provided them with their own branded and integrated online bidding platform where the 'Sketch for Survival' artworks were offered for sale. The iRostrum online auction platform enabled bidding on items anytime, anywhere and on any device, thus maximising its audience and fundraising potential. Their first event raised over £40,000 and donated to projects in Kenya and Botswana to help safeguard against animals’ extinction. The annual ‘Sketch for Survival’ auction has gone on to be a key fundraising event for the charity every year since."
