What is a Hybrid Auction?
A hybrid auction is a powerful fundraising model that blends traditional live auctions and silent auctions with a fully integrated online auction platform. This approach allows guests attending your event in person to bid alongside supporters participating remotely—creating one unified, competitive bidding environment.
With AFGI’s hybrid auction technology, donors can bid in real time from their mobile devices, whether they’re in the room, at home, or anywhere in the world. This flexibility significantly increases participation, extends your reach, and drives stronger fundraising outcomes.
Why Choose Hybrid Auctions with AFGI?
Maximize Revenue
By engaging both in-person attendees and online bidders, hybrid auctions create more competition, which leads to higher bids and increased total funds raised.
Seamless, User-Friendly Technology
AFGI’s online auction platform integrates effortlessly with your live and silent auction components, offering features like mobile bidding, real-time updates, automated notifications, and secure checkout.
Inclusive Fundraising Experience
Not every supporter can attend your event in person—but with a hybrid auction, they can still participate and contribute. This inclusivity expands your donor base and increases overall engagement.
