Auction

The annual Silent Auction is GPF’s signature fundraising event! The Auction is completely virtual (Paybee plattform) to allow all conference attendees to participate. Please engage with the Auction and help support GPF and our work of providing scholarships to advance the grant profession.

In 2022 we had 75 items and were able to gross over $11,300! Proceeds from the auction allowed GPF to ensure excellence in education, ethics, and performance for the grant profession. Funds will support 2023 scholarships which allow grant professionals to attend the GPA Conference, take the GPC exam, or become a member of GPA.

There is still time to commit donations (GPA chapters, individuals, businesses, consultants we need you!):

-Please determine if you are able to participate by September 15th (if you don’t know what you will donate yet, just shoot us an email that you are IN). auction@grantprofessionalsfoundation.org

-If you need more time to determine the details of your donation, we ask that by September 30th, fill out the google form below with your item details and send a photo to the email above. *If you are collecting items for a basket and will have a hard time getting a complete photo, an alternative is to gather stock photos and provide a full description of your basket.

-Items need to be mails to the Silent Auction Chair or you can hold onto and ship directly to the winner (this saves GPF postage).
*We can be flexible if you have something easy like a gift card at the last minute (we don’t want to turn anyone away, but do need time to prepare!)

The Google form has all the instructions regarding sending photos and where to mail:

Google form to submit info on your item

Information on registering to bid on the auction will be provided on this page in October.
