Winspire’s Beginnings

From the beginning, our team has been dedicated to creating and providing the nonprofit community with the best service and most unique auction items. Winspire has helped with over 120,000 nonprofit auctions across North America, providing auction items and resources that help increase revenue at events big and small. Plus, we help nonprofits identify and engage new donors who are essential for their long-term growth and sustainability.
Our team at Winspire is staffed with professional Event Consultants who provide impeccable service and valuable insight on how to increase the net revenue of your event. Alongside them, a dedicated team of travel experts is always ready to assist winning bidders throughout the booking process, ensuring they make the most of their Experience.

The Winspire Difference
Whether it’s your first time organizing a fundraising event or you’re a seasoned planner, Winspire provides resources to help you raise more money at your next charity auction or raffle.
One-of-a-Kind Experiences
Winspire Experiences generally include unique elements and take winners to dream destinations, so bidders will pay top dollar to win them. This not only increases your fundraising potential but also drives up participation and leaves a lasting, positive impression on supporters. We’ll help you tailor your selections to your audience and can even create custom packages if you have a specific vision for your prize.
Risk-Free Fundraising Flexibility
You can sell each Winspire Experience to more than one winner to maximize revenue and enhance multiple components of the same event (e.g., live auctions, silent auctions, and raffles). Plus, you only pay for what you sell at your event, making Winspire 100% no-risk. An Event Consultant will work with you to determine a minimum price for each package, giving you control over your revenue.
Full-Service Travel Booking
After your event, all you have to do is provide a booking voucher to each winning bidder. From there, Winspire offers a full-service Experience agency to handle every aspect of their vacation after the event. Our team of travel professionals will manage all reservations and arrangements, ensuring a seamless and meticulously planned trip with no additional work required for your nonprofit.
Professional Consultation & Helpful Resources
Winspire is staffed with fundraising and event professionals who have extensive experience in event planning, auction management, and support services. We know what fundraising event participants want, and we know how to deliver just that. Your personal Event Consultant will provide you with valuable advice and direct you to resources that will help you maximize your fundraiser’s success.
