Northern Virginia's charity auctioneer for nonprofits ready to grow.
Capital Benefit Auctions is a Northern Virginia charity auctioneer and fundraising strategist. From Arlington and Alexandria to Fairfax and McLean, we help NoVA nonprofits design galas that actually move the needle — paddle raises that grow year over year, live auctions that hold the room, and run-of-shows your committee will reuse.
Northern Virginia is full of mission-driven donors — federal employees, contractors, tech leaders, school families — who give generously when the ask is well-designed. Our job is to make that easy. We seed the top of your paddle ladder before the night so the room follows momentum, not pressure, and we design matches that multiply giving instead of just adding to it.
We've worked recurring NoVA events including EcoAction Arlington's Ecoextravaganza (paddle raise grown from $12K to $18K year over year) and Phoenix Bikes' Bikes & Bowties ($92,000 raised in one night across 80 paddle-raise bids). NoVA is one of our home markets.
Because we're based in DC, Northern Virginia events have no travel fee and our team is in your venue early to coordinate with AV, spotters, and your committee.
