27. Online auction : To help its members learn more about a potential money-making technique while raising funds itself, the National PTA, Chicago, conducted its first online auction in February 2004. The auction included items ranging from school supplies to tropical vacations--all available at lower-than-retail prices. The staff collected more than 170 donated items to be auctioned primarily to PTA members nationwide, who had two weeks to place their online bids. An outside vendor, C-Market of Boston, hosted the auction. Benefits to members: Bidders saved money and had the opportunity to see how an online auction works before they tried it as a fundraiser for their local PTAs. Benefits to the association: The National PTA collected the net proceeds, strengthened relations with vendors and sponsors who made donations, and will use the lessons it learned at a second online auction in November. Bottom line: Net revenue: $13,000. Start-up costs: $7,000. Staff time: 300 hours across six months. http://www.readysetauction.com/online-auction/ http://www.auctionraiser.com/ JWL Associates
