Ever feel like your nonprofit auction turns into a full-blown circus act? One minute you're fielding bidder questions, the next you're rebooting someone's laptop, all while juggling spreadsheets and trying not to sweat through your branded polo. Sound familiar?

What if it didn’t have to be that way?

In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, host Tom Kelly unveils the AI Auction Blueprint—a simple, step-by-step system to help you run smoother, more profitable charity auctions without burning out. Whether you’ve hosted dozens of events or are prepping for your first online auction, this episode is your roadmap to maximum bids with minimal stress.

You’ll learn:

• Why most nonprofit auctions are inefficient—and how to fix that with automation
• The exact tools and AI prompts Tom uses to write compelling item descriptions, drive bidder engagement, and send automated reminders
• How to schedule your entire auction communication flow from launch to close using platforms like ConvertKit or DonorBooks
• What mid-event strategies actually boost bids (hint: it’s not shouting on social media)
• How one organization raised $18,000 in a weekend with no in-person event or live auctioneer

Tom also shares his go-to ChatGPT prompts to create irresistible auction listings, outbid alerts, and social posts that generate real FOMO. Plus, he breaks down how CharityAuctionsToday—the platform behind over millions of funds raised—makes it easy to build your auction in under 10 minutes.
