Case Study: Knights of Columbus boosts auction participation and donations with ClickBid

From Tradition to Triumph – Germantown Knights of Columbus Partners with ClickBid

The Germantown Knights of Columbus, a local council of a major charitable organization, faced challenges managing their annual fundraising dinner and silent auction using inefficient paper bid sheets. This process created significant work for organizers and a poor experience for attendees who had to constantly leave their seats to check on bids. Seeking an innovative solution, they partnered with vendor ClickBid to adopt a mobile bidding strategy.

By implementing ClickBid's mobile bidding software, the organization transitioned to a successful multi-day auction that engaged both in-person and online donors. The solution from ClickBid simplified event logistics, enabled effective communication with bidders, and led to a measurable increase in participation and net proceeds. Since first using ClickBid in 2021, the Germantown Knights of Columbus have consistently achieved higher donation totals and greater fundraising success, making their events more profitable and easier to manage.
