School Auction Performance Snapshot

Over half of all school auctions and raffles take place in March and April. There are performance wins in the other months, too.

This plot highlights the range in median Fair Market Value (FMV), Average Sales Price (ASP), and median sales price over the year. Consider how your school compares, and how you could package items together if your FMV or sales fall short of the average.

Running a successful school auction and raffle can feel out of reach when resources are stretched, and uncertainty is high. But there's reason for optimism.

Early 2026 gets a gold star for school auction performance. Despite economic turbulence, auction and raffle revenue, averages, medians, and item counts rose across the board compared to the same period last year.

Donors are still showing up to support your school and mission.
