“What Should I Donate?”

Monday, August 14th, 2006

That’s a question we’ve been hearing from a lot of the companies we’ve reached out to in the community. It’s a good question — because the best way for a charity auction to generate the most proceeds is to offer items that its participants are willing to bid high on.

We’ve given a few of our own suggestions — a number of which you’ll probably see in the next few days as we post new donations. But we’d like to offer this one up to the community.

What do you think? Got any suggestions? Get creative! In particular, we’d like to hear your thoughts on:

  • Donations valued at under $100
  • Donations valued from $100 to $500
  • Donations valued from $500 to $1,000
  • Donations valued at over $1,000

Don’t be shy — your suggestion might just inspire someone to make a donation that’s a homerun at the auction.
