Some charities and non-profit organisations continue to take a financial toll during the past several months. However, with the help of Oktion, many charitable organisations were able to raise a huge amount of funds through online silent auctions.

WestWords held a very successful online auction with us and managed to raise over $10,000 for their cause. We are very proud to be able to support them with their fundraising completely free of charge.

WestWords is a literature development organisation dedicated to celebrating and championing the stories of the people, places and cultures that comprise the heart of Western Sydney. Their mission is to help children and young people in the local community to improve their literacy skills and gain a pathway of literary opportunity. WestWords is all about building, creating and empowering communities in Western Sydney.

The Oktion app was a huge success among those who took part in the fundraising auction. Users were able to bid on artworks from any location at any time through their mobile phone or computer. This flexibility enabled WestWords to engage people who might not otherwise be able to attend a fundraising event in person. The Oktion app took online bids and donations in real time, and the payment and invoicing process was fully automated. This allowed participants to give to an important cause while still being able to practice social distancing at home.

We’re extremely proud of the results they have achieved, and we are so grateful that WestWords chose Oktion to help them with their auction event.
