Online charity auctions for nonprofits
Auction items for your charity: 100% of the winning bid goes to the organisation.
WeGlow Auctions is a separate auction platform at auction.weglow.world, part of the WeGlow.world ecosystem. There organisations and supporters auction items, and bidders support a verified charity. 100% of the winning bid goes to the charity; the buyer pays 5% platform costs on top of their bid.
For charities it is free: no commissions and no subscription costs. Sellers also create an auction for free: you make an account, add an item and choose the charity that receives the proceeds.

How does it work for a charity?
You register your organisation as a charity on auction.weglow.world. After that you, your volunteers and your supporters can create auctions whose proceeds go to your organisation. There are no commissions or subscription costs for you; you receive the full winning bid.
How does it work for sellers?
A seller makes an account, adds an item and chooses the charity that receives the proceeds. That lets your community help actively: a local baker, an athlete or an artist auctions something and your organisation receives the result.
How safe is the money flow?
Only verified charities are on the platform. The buyer pays the winning bid plus 5% platform costs, the payment is processed securely and paid out directly to the charity. The buyer receives a confirmation once the payment is complete.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the proceeds go?
100% of the winning bid goes directly to the chosen charity. On top of that the buyer pays 5% platform costs, which cover things like payment processing and maintenance of the platform.

No. Taking part is free for charities: there are no commissions or subscription costs, and you receive the full amount of the winning bid.
Who pays the 5% platform costs?
The buyer, so the bidder who wins the auction. That 5% comes on top of the winning bid and does not reduce the charity’s proceeds.
