Bid to Care is an online auction platform built for nonprofits and food banks. Supporters get something they love, your cause gets the funds it needs. Everybody wins.
Whether it's a live event or an online silent auction, we make it easy for nonprofits to raise money in a way people actually enjoy.
A food bank or charity lists donated goods, experiences, and prizes — provided by them or sourced through Bid to Care.
People bid online from anywhere, or in-person at a live event. They get something they want while giving to a cause they love.
Winners take home their items, and every dollar raised goes to work in the community. Fundraising that feels good.
Here's a preview of how a Bid to Care auction looks. Every item supports a local nonprofit or food bank.

Donations are hard to come by in a tight economy. But people are far more willing to give when they get something in return. Bid to Care turns that instinct into a powerful fundraising engine for your cause.
Bid to Care isn't a faceless platform. It was built by two people who saw the need with their own eyes — and decided to do something about it.
Ivan is an entrepreneur and brand builder with a passion for helping others succeed. After years in business, he learned one simple truth: people give more freely when they get something in return. He created Bid to Care to turn that instinct into a real fundraising engine — giving nonprofits and food banks a modern, dignified way to raise the funds their communities depend on.
Debbie brings warmth, heart, and a deep commitment to community service to everything she does. Her years of hands-on work serving families in need gave her a firsthand understanding of what local organizations are up against. She partners with Ivan to make sure Bid to Care always stays true to its purpose: putting people and causes first, one bid at a time.
Ivan and Debbie met while working together at a food pantry — and it was there, side by side with the families they served, that the idea for Bid to Care was born.
While working together at a local food pantry, Ivan and Debbie saw the real needs of the community — and how much these organizations mean to the families who depend on them. They also saw that food banks and nonprofits were struggling, needing donations at a time when giving is harder than ever.
From years in business, they knew one thing to be true: people are much more willing to spend when they get something for their money. Bid to Care was born from that simple, powerful idea — and from a friendship forged in service.
Whether you run a food bank, shelter, or community organization, Bid to Care can help you host an auction that supporters love. Let's talk about getting your first auction live.
