Charity auctions with a second bottom line

Every bid gives. Even the ones that don't win.

Run beautiful auctions for your cause. With the GiveForward Pledge, bidders who get outbid donate a share of their bid — so the generosity of every raised hand is captured, not lost.

How it works

Three steps from listing to receipts

1List an item with its story

Photos, provenance, and the people behind the piece. Story-first pages make bidders care before they bid.

2Bidders raise, pledge attached

One-tap suggested raises keep the auction moving. The GiveForward Pledge rides along, checked by default.

3Everyone gives

The winner pays their bid. Outbid pledgers are charged their chosen percentage as a donation — receipts issued automatically.

The signature mechanic

The GiveForward Pledge

An auction has one winner — but many people who wanted to give. KindBid asks every bidder up front: if you're outbid, will you donate a share of your bid to the cause anyway? The box is checked by default; each organization sets the default percentage and the range bidders may choose from.

GiveForward Pledge — if I'm outbid, donate 10% of my bid to this cause. Charged only if you don't win · 501(c)(3) acknowledgment letters issued instantly.
Built for fundraising teams

Everything between the story and the receipt

Story-first listings

Rich pages with galleries, provenance, artisan credits and where-the-money-goes breakdowns.

Bid-first layouts

The Bid Now button owns the best real estate on every device — sticky rail on desktop, thumb-zone sheet on mobile.

Receipts & compliance

Instant 501(c)(3) acknowledgments for winning premiums and every GiveForward donation.

Payouts & analytics

Weekly payouts, bidder analytics, and a dashboard that treats donations as a first-class metric.

Partners & infrastructure

Built on trusted rails

KindBid exists because world-class infrastructure is a solved problem: payments through Razorpay, PayPal and Stripe; cloud on AWS. We work only with infrastructure and payment partners that maintain certifications such as SOC 2 and PCI DSS. Wordmarks indicate the technology KindBid is built on, not an endorsement.

Your cause has an audience. Give them a paddle.
