Case Study: Inman Park Cooperative Preschool, Inc. achieves a record 35% increase in auction revenue with Greater Giving Mobile Bidding

Inman Park Cooperative Preschool - Customer Case Study

Inman Park Cooperative Preschool (IPCP) is a parent-run co-op serving Atlanta’s in-town neighborhoods since 1981. Facing volunteer fatigue, inconsistent auction results (many packages were selling at only ~40% of retail), and errors from manual bid entry that left winners and contact information missing, the committee wanted a way to professionalize the annual fundraiser while reducing volunteer hours.

IPCP implemented Greater Giving Mobile Bidding, expanded unique auction offerings by soliciting 200+ local businesses and asking families for packaged items, promoted the platform ahead of the event, and staffed a “Tech Bar” with trained bidding assistants. Mobile bidding eliminated manual data entry, captured bidder contact information automatically, increased engagement and competitive bidding, and helped the auction raise 35% more than the prior year—breaking IPCP’s fundraising records while reducing volunteer stress and errors.
