Welcome!

Auction of Promises is a unique way for people with a common interest in a cause to raise funds on-line by auctioning good deeds and donated items. Auctions are exciting and competitive especially as the deadline approaches, because of this, raising funds this way proves to be very effective. Targets which fundraisers set are very often exceeded.

I created Auction of Promises to help raise funds for a local cause in Maidenhead (UK). Following the success of this it was decided to open up the service to anyone with a virtuous cause to raise money for.

Inspired in part by a Catherine Ryan Hyde novel, the philosophy is to enable change through a ripple effect of good deeds, in this case via the internet. While this sounds utopian it has proven to work. To date the service has auctioned over 120,000 promises for several thousand causes and just tipped over £5M total raised to date 24.09.25. There is a huge amount of good will out there !!

The core fundraising service is available for free, costs are covered by a small amount of advertising and optional add-ons. Unique features include a virtual auctioneer (aka Bid Maximiser), repeatable promises and social media integration features.
