Online auctions have been around for decades, so they’re not exactly new. But these marketplaces will continue to grow as more industries move online every day. Nonprofits and other organizations are recognizing just how easy it can be to shift their fundraising campaigns to an online format. They can connect with people faster and easier, helping them make better connections and raise more funds.

Platforms like BetterWorld continue to improve the online auction experience by integrating automation tools and simple dashboards that both nonprofit organizations and users love. In fact, 97% of organizations that use the platform say they plan to use it again.
