Case Study: American Cancer Society of Seattle achieves a $70,000 fundraising boost with Greater Giving Online Bidding

American Cancer Society of Seattle - Customer Case Study

The American Cancer Society’s Seattle chapter, which runs a large annual fundraising event, faced crowded venue limits and an underperforming silent auction as they prepared for 350 guests and dozens of auction items. A prior mobile-bidding vendor couldn’t integrate with their existing Greater Giving event software, forcing manual data entry and creating operational headaches for staff and volunteers.

They moved to Greater Giving’s integrated Online Bidding and event tools—using online registration, the Go Time event night interface, and early bidding promotion—while recruiting tech-savvy “Bidder Buddies” and relying on Greater Giving support. The integrated solution made administration simple, extended bidding time, and boosted engagement; the silent auction surpassed its goal by several thousand dollars and the event exceeded its overall fundraising target by $70,000.
