Hosting our online auction on RallyUp was such a win! We were able to customize the platform to showcase not only the items up for auction but our cause and mission with ease and the customer service couldn’t be beat. We will definitely turn to RallyUp again in the future!”

What really impressed us was how easy it was for our school community to participate. We received so many positive comments about how simple it was to browse items, place bids, and even set up notifications for outbid items. This ease of use undoubtedly contributed to the success of our fundraiser. ”

RallyUp is amazing! I have never run a silent auction before or built a website like this and it was so user-friendly and so easy to use! Everything from building the site to the support that I got from our Fundraising Specialist was incredible. I 100% would recommend this site to anyone looking to build a silent auction site.”
