Call To Auction

Call to Auction is a benefit auction company that provides live fundraising auctioneers for nonprofit organizations. Its auctioneers focus on paddle raises, live auctions, and giving moments that encourage donors to give, and they describe themselves as trained fundraising auctioneers rather than emcees. The company is located in Phoenix, Arizona.

Services for nonprofits include pre-event strategy and consultation on run-of-show, guest experience, and major donor preparation; coaching for emcees, boards, and volunteers; and planning for live auction item selection and paddle raise strategy. The team also provides event execution support on event night, from sound checks to final applause. The company also publishes a podcast, a blog, and a gala toolbox.
