Austin, TX Charity Auctioneer

Andew Bost Benefit Auctions

An Austin resident since 2004, Andrew started Andrew Bost Benefit Auctions here in 2006. He is known and loved by Texas nonprofits for his ability to connect with their donors, no matter the size or composition of the audience.

Andrew’s charity auction style ranges from quiet and subtle to loud an boisterous, from one audience to the next and one moment to the next!

Flexibility is paramount to his auctioneering style, since no two gala audiences are exactly alike. Friday night might be a black tie gala at a swanky Austin hotel, while Saturday is boots and jeans party at a San Antonio ranch, and Sunday is Hawaiian Night at a Hill Country school.

“As an auctioneer, Andrew has a rare gift. He will not only get the bids up but he is very entertaining at the same time. I don’t know where he gets his energy from, but he can keep a benefit auction going and the energy level high.”

That put him among the first thirty Benefit Auctioneer Specialists in existence.

BAS designees study with the auctioneers who created the benefit auction industry. The BAS designation signifies study and dedication to best practices in fundraising auctions. Currently, only a small number of charity auctioneers nationally hold the BAS designation.

  We used Mr. Andrew Bost and his services for our inaugural Gala event in November. He was amazing from the consultation, event planning, to the event. He showed up on time and was very professional. If you are planning to have an event with an auction and you do not hire Mr. Bost, you will be leaving dollars on the table! He is exactly what he says, a professional fundraiser that takes pride in his work and service. We will be using Andrew at our events moving forward. Thank you Andrew.

  Andrew was great to work with! This was The African Think Tank's first gala and auction and he walked us through every step of the way. With his help we reached our revenue goal for the event and closed out the year is a great spot!

  We have been working with Andrew for the last 6 months leading up to our Gala.  He has been amazing.  He has provided us with expertise and guidance, and even some great recommendations/referrals.  Once at our event, he was professional and entertaining.  He introduced new concepts to our event resulting in more funds raised.   He was a pleasure to work with and our foundation greatly benefitted.  We raised 60% more money than our prior gala!

  Andrew was terrific. I would recommend him to any nonprofit that wants to increase their live-event donations. With Andrew's help, we increased our live donations by over 61%! Additionally, he is incredibly professional and easy to work with.

  Andrew is a professional! We have used him for our annual Gala Auction for the past 2 years. I have really enjoyed working with him. He is thorough without needing too much time. His demeanor on stage is fun and upbeat, keeping the crowd engaged and encouraged to keep on giving. Will be working with him again!

  Andrew was a pro from start to finish. He took the time to understand what was unique about our event and took it all to the next level. Not only did we surpass our fundraising goal, but our guests rated the paddles up and live auction portions of the evening as exceptional. Highly recommend working with Andrew if you can.
