Case Study: The Nuclear Museum achieves higher fundraising and faster checkout with Accelevents

The Nuclear Museum Hosts Their First Successful Digital Auction with Accelevents

The Nuclear Museum faced the challenge of moving its 23rd Annual Einstein Gala online after the in-person event was canceled due to COVID-19. The committee needed a digital auction platform that supported easy fund transfers, was simple for admins, volunteers and bidders, offered robust support resources, and provided easy tracking and downloads of item performance — needs they addressed by using Accelevents’ online auction platform.

Accelevents delivered a supported virtual-auction solution that let the museum upload multiple images and descriptions for each item, open bidding early, and streamline checkout. The result: higher proceeds than expected, over 90% of funds collected within days of the auction close (rather than months), and one-click data export for planning — demonstrating Accelevents’ impact on fundraising speed, visibility, and operational ease.
