from a Nonprofit Event Planner

This easy-to-use Google Sheet was designed by a nonprofit event producer to help you track live auction bids and paddle raise donations as they happen. Whether you’re running a gala with an auctioneer or hosting a casual community fundraiser, this tool gives you a clear, instant picture of your fundraising success.

What’s Included:

  • Pre-built formulas to tally bids and donations in real time

  • Sections for auction items, paddle raise levels, bidder numbers, and total raised

  • Works with or without internet (just download to Excel!)

  • Clean layout to easily share updates with your emcee or auctioneer

Wondering who made this checklist?

Hi! I am Christine Preziosi. My team and I partner with nonprofit leaders and community change-makers to create unforgettable events.

My philosophy is simple: If you aren’t having fun planning your event, you aren’t doing it right.

I want your guests to be excited to celebrate with you and deeply engage with your mission. I believe that people crave community and are inherently generous. This belief is the transformative power of events.
