Why Host Online Auctions?
Online auctions provide a range of benefits for fundraising efforts. Here’s why they are a valuable addition to your strategy:
Before diving into the details, clarify your auction objectives. Are you raising funds for a specific project, acquiring new donors, or engaging your existing community? Having clear goals will guide your auction planning.
Select a user-friendly online auction platform that suits your needs. Consider factors like cost, customization options, payment processing, and accessibility for both organizers and participants.
The success of your auction largely depends on the items or experiences you offer. Seek donations or partnerships for unique, appealing items, including art, memorabilia, experiences, and services.
Establish clear rules and procedures for your auction, including starting bids, bid increments, auction duration, and payment methods. Ensure your platform supports secure transactions.
Promotion is key to a successful online auction. Utilize social media, email marketing, your website, and our mailing list to create buzz around the event. Highlight the impact of funds raised.
Launch your auction with a bang by encouraging early bidding. Offering incentives or discounts for early participants can create momentum.
Interact with your bidders by responding to questions promptly and offering additional information about auction items. Make participants feel valued and informed.
Consider hosting virtual events during your auction, such as live Q&A sessions with donors or experts. These events can boost engagement and donations.
Ensure your auction platform is mobile-friendly, as many participants may bid from their smartphones or tablets.
After the auction, express gratitude to all participants, donors, and volunteers who made it a success. Share the results and the impact their contributions will have on your cause.

I want to thank everyone for such a creative, interesting, and inspiring collaboration. In this difficult time, this project has become a real relief for me. I am very grateful for the knowledge and experience that I gained here, as well as for the really good attitude that I felt from everyone I had the opportunity to work with. This is truly a very valuable experience for me :) I wish the team of lawyers and IT-Sprout overall further development and more victories on the way!
UX/UI Designer
Everything is fine, there is an opportunity to gain first commercial experience, which is valuable and necessary when looking for a job. Also, gaining experience in mastering a new program, which is important in design work. Regarding recommendations: it might be worthwhile for your company to allocate a separate employee who would deal exclusively with newcomers and their integration into the work process, communicate with them, etc.
Project Manager
I was involved in project management for a mobile application! I found an internship on rabota.ua to gain experience in the field of PM! I wanted to gain experience specifically in project management, worked on tasks, created a table in Trello, and did WBS, Project Risk! I achieved small accomplishments, but it was a good start for my first experience! For those considering an internship, I advise trying to participate, you won’t regret it for your first experience!
UX/UI Designer
At IT-Parostok, I worked on UI/UX design and front-end development, as I had no prior UI/UX experience, I chose this internship to gain experience as a UI/UX designer. I wanted to gain experience as a UI/UX designer, so I worked on it and also helped with other projects. I also gained experience working with Adalo. For those considering an internship, I recommend trying yourself in this role, as it is rare to gain experience when you have zero experience, the conditions are good, and the team is pleasant, so I am happy to recommend an internship at IT-Parostok

Gained new experience, deepened theoretical knowledge, opened up new areas of activity that will be useful in the future

Back-end Developer
I was very interested in the IT-Sprout internship and during our communication, various directions for development were offered (backend, devops, blockchain, cryptography).
In IT-Sprout, I was engaged in backend development, writing various scripts, and familiarized myself with cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.
I also learned about Github Actions, which we used to set up CI/CD for our projects.
For newcomers in the IT field who would like to not only receive theory but also participate in real projects, I recommend taking an internship at IT-Sprout
