Support Good Causes

Every bid helps fund important community initiatives and charitable programs.

Build Community

Connect supporters with organizations they care about through engaging online experiences.

Our Story

DonateByBid began with a simple idea: to help the Sacramento Ultimate Players Association (SUPA) raise funds for their Women and Non-Binary Player Development Fund through an online auction of frisbee apparel donated by Dena Elimelich.

What started as a single auction quickly revealed the need for a simple, accessible platform that any organization could use to host their own fundraising auctions without technical barriers or high costs.

Today, DonateByBid serves as a free platform for charitable organizations to connect with supporters, host engaging auctions, and raise funds for causes that matter to their communities.
