Winspire
Raise More Money with Unique, No-Risk Charity Auction Items
Overview
Winspire is not a software platform itself, but a crucial service for gala management. They provide a catalog of unique travel packages and experiences that nonprofits can offer in their fundraising auctions. These items are provided on a consignment basis, meaning the nonprofit only pays for the package if it sells, eliminating any upfront cost or risk. They partner with various fundraising software platforms.
✨ Key Features
- No-risk consignment auction items
- Unique travel packages (domestic & international)
- VIP experiences (sports, entertainment, culinary)
- Promotional materials for each package
- Dedicated event consultant
- Online catalog of items
🎯 Key Differentiators

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Organizations that need software to run their auction (Winspire provides the items, not the platform).
