The percentage we provide to the charity is more than fair, as are our opening bids. Our competitive prices are due to tremendous buying power and the expertise of our professional buying team whom continuously source proven products.

AFGI charges no external fees for our services and we pay a higher percentage of the final winning bid price to charities.

We encourage you to compare our services. With AFGI, your charity will receive more money than any other auction company offers. All you need to do is deposit the cheque or accept the e-transfer – we’ll handle the rest!

Contact one of our professional fundraising specialists today to alleviate the work and worry associated with your next event. Ensure its success!

What kind of items can you expect AFGI to supply?

Charity auctions have the potential to raise significant funds, and selecting the right items is key to their success. Well-chosen auction items can inspire donor engagement and significantly increase fundraising revenue. At AFGI, we know what the right items are:

  • Artwork: Contemporary, Modern, Impressionist, Old Masters, Street & Urban, Pop, Photography, Indigenous, Asian & More!
  • Jewellery & Accessories: Gold, Silver, Diamonds, Gemstones & More!

We work with your team to choose successful items based on your expected attendee demographic, theme of your event, donated items and our expertise.

Auctions also offer a unique opportunity to involve your network, local community, and stakeholders—many of whom may value the recognition that comes with donating an item. Sourcing compelling items can be challenging, particularly in the wake of COVID-19’s impact on businesses. Once you’ve secured as many donated items as possible, our auction item service can help elevate your event and further maximize your fundraising potential.
