Capital Benefit Auctions. DC's go-to benefit auctioneers.
For more than a decade, Capital Benefit Auctions has been the trusted auctioneer and emcee partner for Washington, DC nonprofits — from groundbreaking research hospitals to independent schools and after-school programs that change lives.
Our work has helped secure tens of millions of dollars for local causes. Some nights become legend: $201,450 raised in 90 seconds at Sidwell Friends' Fund-A-Scholar paddle raise. A Key School paddle raise lifted from $15,000 to $78,000 in a single year. The energy, the humor, and the genuine love for the mission are what unlock that kind of giving.
CBA is more than an auctioneer. Partners get help with event planning, acquiring top-tier auction items, paddle-raise seeding, and using the right technology to keep the night moving. The result is a fundraising experience donors thank you for — and a number your board will not forget.
To equip nonprofits with the strategy and the stage they need to fund the futures their missions promise.
