Made for school communities
A simpler way to run a school auction
PTA auctions often start with generous donations from parents, teachers, and local businesses. The hard part is turning those prizes into a clear, well-organised fundraiser. Aucly helps you bring everything together in one online auction that is easy to share and easy for supporters to use.
Bring prizes together
Add vouchers, hampers, experiences, lessons, and parent-donated prizes in one place.
Share one auction link
Aucly works well for PTA auctions because the audience is already close to the school. Parents, carers, staff, friends, local businesses and supporters can all bid through one polished auction link.
Let people bid online
Supporters can browse items and place bids from their phone, tablet, or computer.
See the winners clearly
When the auction closes organisers can manage winners, send templated emails and request payment.
