How to Mobile Bid with Greater Giving Online Bidding

We are a paperless auction! Online bidding will open Wednesday, May 10 for anyone who has registered their credit card ahead of the event.   

How Do You Bid?

1. Pre-register your credit card before the event. Your table host has a special RSVP link.

When you register, make sure to check the box indicating you want to pre-register your credit card online. Then you will not need to stand in line or physically swipe a card at check in.  

If you would prefer to register at the event, that option will still be available to you when you arrive at the event. Note: You will not be able to start bidding until you arrive at the event.

2. When the auction is open and you are checked in, you will receive an automated ‘Welcome’ text with your bidder link.
