Socially Funded
Has your non-profit ever been burned by a silent auction company? Were you not paid your fair share of the proceeds or not at all? Were the items overpriced for your audience? Did you have to pay monthly fees? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to get in touch with Zach Abel who started a fundraising company called Socially Funded.
With over 100 fundraisers already aided in the Tampa Bay area, Zach is here to
help charities in the Orlando community. Socially Funded is the only volume-based silent auction fundraising organization in Florida who owns all its inventory. That means that your donors get a better deal and your organization raises more money.
Unfortunately, negative experiences happen in the non-profit community all the time, and Zach created Socially Funded to help change the industry. Don’ t let a bad experience get in the way of raising more money for your charity! That’ s why Socially
Presents the All-Inclusive, Faith-Based, 3 Day / 2 Night, Bahamas Paradise
Funded presents a check at the close of each event, so the charity doesn’ t have to worry about not getting their fair share.
I’ m asked by charities often:‘ Why should we use your help when we collect 100 % of the proceeds for our donated items?’ The answer is simple: You will ALWAYS raise more money for your cause by including all of your donated items AND Socially Funded items to enhance it. Charities do not get quality memorabilia donated in any quantity. It’ s a fact. Gift baskets and gift cards are not enough. You need variety and a more diverse presentation to raise the most money.

Do you use mobile bidding or paper bidding? At the end of the day, it really doesn’ t matter. We can handle all of the work for you and still run your auction from start to finish. Hire a professional to take care of the silent auction, so you can spend more time getting butts in the seats and more sponsorships.
Also, don’ t let imposters fool you. A memorabilia or golf planning company is NOT a fundraising company. Companies like those charge full retail, outrageous prices, and rarely own their own inventory. Socially Funded ONLY helps with fundraisers. That means you’ ll get the best service, reliability, selection and lowest starting bids in the industry. If you want your auction run from start to finish without paying any fees, Socially Funded can help. Items can also be provided to enhance what you already have and there is no obligation, no shipments, or hidden fees.
Raising the most money for your charity is the most important aspect of fundraising. Don’ t let past negative experiences get in the way of working with a company that gives the charity their fair share and has been invested in the local community for years. Call, text or email Zach so he can help take your next event to another level. If you don’ t have an event, ask about our online option for fundraising. Like our events, it’ s free.
