The consultant will spend that specific number of hours on the phone and in meetings with your organization helping answer software questions, consulting questions, making suggestions, advising any and all committees.

Organizations unfamiliar or uncomfortable performing the post-event audit and would like a consultant to help them with the process will purchase this option.

Some organizations either don’t have computers and printers that they can bring to their auction, or they don’t want to hassle with that aspect of the event. 501(c)3 Events has laptops and printers that can be brought to your event for use in the data entry area, at registration for capturing credit card information, or for use as a Bidder Recognition system for the auctioneer. Rental fees apply, but the consultant will also bring the expertise needed to network the computers together so you may have multiple data entry points at your event.Other Services Available

"Tim is an incredible auction organizer. I've seen him work on auctions that total I believe over $200,000 in revenue. The events were well hosted, and fun. *Extremely* well planned out, and Tim is a fount of knowledge on the state, federal, and nonprofit requirements for auctions and raffles."
