An auction raises money by getting the room to compete — bidding against each other to win items. Wheel of Generosity keeps the energy but flips the axis from competition to collective momentum: donors trigger matches, take fate spins that stretch their giving, and the whole room rises together. Run it as your closing appeal, or as a fixture right through your silent auction — alternative, complement, or both.
A live or silent auction is built on competition: donors bid against each other and one person wins the item. Only the deepest pockets really play; everyone else becomes a spectator. And the dollars buy procured items — sourced at cost, sometimes sold below value — instead of flowing straight to the mission.
Opens — Room Gather: take the pulse of the room as everyone joins from their phone and participation climbs.
Throughout — Open Play: donors trigger a match, throw a dare, or take a fate spin from their seats, keeping the energy high while the auction runs.
Closes — The Unified Moment: capture everyone who didn't compete. The Council builds one collective match, the whole room gives at once, seats light up, and table totals reveal.
A donor picks a range where the floor is what they already planned to give, then lets the wheel decide. Their gift can only grow from there.
You don't have to choose. On open play the Wheel becomes a fixture beside your auction: guests trigger matches, take fate spins, and can win tokens to spend on the auction floor. It adds energy while bids are open, then closes with the Unified Moment so the people who never raised a paddle still leave having given together.
Yes — that's one of the best ways to use it. On open play the Wheel runs as a fixture beside the auction: guests trigger matches, take fate spins, and can win tokens to spend on the auction floor. It keeps energy high while bids are open, then closes with the Unified Moment.
A donor picks a giving range where the floor is what they already planned to give, then spins — and the wheel can only grow the gift from there. It turns a private number into a moment of surprise and a little extra generosity.
There are no auction items to source, store, or sell below value, so gifts flow to the mission rather than paying for inventory — beyond standard payment processing. No procurement, no markup, no unsold lots.
