a Record-Breaking Fundraising Night

Professional fundraising auctioneer services that turn donor engagement into massive impact. Exceed your goals with a strategic partner dedicated to your cause.

Beyond the Gavel: Strategic Fundraising Partnerships

A successful benefit auction is built long before the first bid is called. Scott Melville partners with your organization to audit your silent auction, refine your live auction sequence, and engineer a “Fund-A-Need” segment that resonates deeply with your donors. The goal is not just to host an event, but to maximize your mission’s reach through professional, data-driven fundraising.

Revenue Auditing

The Auctioneer conducts a deep-dive audit of your previous event data to identify missed opportunities and untapped revenue streams in your silent and live auctions.

Auction Item Curation

A live auction is only as strong as its lineup. Scott assists in selecting and sequencing high-yield items that spark emotional bidding wars.

Committee Training

Scott empowers your team with proven techniques for solicitor training and donor cultivation to ensure your event has momentum long before the doors open.

Strategic Event Flow

Timing is everything. The Auctioneer helps engineer your event timeline to ensure your biggest “asks” happen at the moment of peak donor engagement and energy.

Testimonial

Scott Melville did an excellent job… and was able to really get the audience involved and some lively bidding took place. The overall success of our event was due in considerable measure to the success of the Live Auction portion of the evening, which helped raise approximately $22,000 for wetland conservation.
