With GalaBid, you’ll be able to raise more money than ever before - all while enjoying a simple, intuitive platform that's easy to use.
Below is a helpful video that shows you how a GalaBid fundraising auction campaign works. It also shows the amazing branding opportunities available, along with an overview of the dashboard.
We've also included a link to a demo campaign where you can place dummy bids, and see the raffle and donation features in action!
Since 2021, we have used GalaBid for our Annual Gala Dinner and it works seamlessly. Would not go back to paper bid sheets. With the templates provided and Cathy’s expert knowledge and assistance, it was easy to use, setup and to get people to bid. And more importantly, in using this system, it helped us raise more money. Embracing technology is certainly the way to go.

Could not recommend GalaBid more, PCSRF has been using this platform for 8 years and it has been a game changer for our fundraisers, increasing money raised year on year. The platform is easy to use for admins and fantastic for the users. Our supporters love it as do we! Totally worth the investment!
Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation
We could not have been more impressed with the GalaBid platform. We were able to run a week-long auction of nearly 100 donated artworks and also a month-long sale at fixed price of over 250 pictures and sculptures. We have raised over £150,000 for the charities involved. The whole process was pretty straightforward for us as volunteer administrators, and for our purchasers and donors. We have experience of several on-line fundraising and auction sites – we will never look past GalaBid again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a cost-effective, professional and slick event partner.

Variety – the Children’s Charity is one of GalaBids oldest clients and has been using this platform for various fundraising events since 2012. Throughout the years the system has always been easy for staff and event guests to use and has helped generate Variety over $500,000 from the silent auction functionality.

GalaBid was fantastic! They took all of the stress and workload out of hosting and running an auction. The platform is easy to use for both the organiser and the bidder. It’s is an extremely professionally presented platform. I would never do an auction any other way again.

Just a short note to say thank you so much for all your recent help at our latest Ball. That's now the second Ball in our short history, and both have been a great success! I know we initially probably drove you mad with our in-depth market analysis and beauty parade of the numerous charity auction providers out there, the numerous questions and queries that then followed on from that before deciding on yourselves, but it was all worth it! Thus far we are very happy with the choice we made and look forward to many more events with GalaBid in the future. Thanks, GalaBid team and again well done on providing a first class service.

The GalaBid system was second to none and exceeded all our expectations. We had over 400 people attend the auction with a lot of corporate identities who regularly support such community events. Many commented to me personally about the GalaBid system and wanted to know the details because it was the best system they had seen. The money raised exceeded our expectations by a long way and we have no doubt GalaBid had a significant impact on that result. We would highly recommend using GalaBid for any similar events!
Rotorua Police Welfare Fund and Charitable Trust
3 yrs now using the Galabid platform and it is seriously the best in the marketplace. Backed by the best onsite, account and management personnel who clearly enjoy what they are doing and are fit for purpose and motivation. It makes the whole Galabid experience easy, efficient and brilliant.
Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation
The auction exceeded my highest expectations and more than doubled last year's take.
We can’t speak highly enough of our auction manager's efforts, charm and professionalism. In my dealing with him up to the event he was terrific with great update speeds and made it clear that nothing was too much trouble. Without his presence and your system, our take would have been considerably less. I'd recommend your company and it’s services to anybody.

We have used GalaBid for a number of functions over the last few years. Guests enjoyed bidding against each other and we raised more money than in previous years when we had paper forms. The account management teams and staff on the night are a delight to work with – always happy to answer any questions whether big or small. If you are looking for a system to take the hassle out of fundraising then this is for you. The system is self-explanatory and very easy to use.
Westpac Foundation
GalaBid enabled many more guests and even those not attending our ball to bid on the auction, which resulted in a profit of at least $40,000 more than previous years. Guests having their own handset and receiving a text message when they were outbid were options not previously available as well as being able to add the full prize description and photo to the online system.
Items were much easier to find using the categories option, so guests didn’t have to wade through the entire catalogue to find what they were interested in.
Our guests enjoyed using the platform with many getting in early with registration and bids and setting up their favourites prior to the night. We are thrilled with our overall result! GalaBid was around 40% of the price of the previous system we were using with a 30% increase in profit from our auction items.
