Trustees map stronger marketing, corporate outreach for next year's silent auction
Summary
Trustees discussed silent-auction logistics and fundraising strategy — including soliciting corporate donations 3–6 months ahead, grouping tables, promoting advanced ticket sales, and marketing pre-auction items — to increase revenue and reduce security issues.
Trustees devoted significant discussion to silent-auction strategy, reviewing donations, amounts raised, costs and security concerns such as people sneaking into the auction. Board members recommended grouping auction tables into four categories, placing big-ticket live-auction items early, promoting advanced ticket sales in the weeks prior, and organizing pre-auction item promotions in the lead-up to the event.
The board also discussed soliciting corporate donations three to six months ahead of next year's event and implementing more concerted marketing and promotional efforts to increase revenue. No funding approvals or vendor commitments appear in the provided excerpt; the discussion focused on tactics and timeline for future fundraising.
