I first came across Charitybuzz by accident. And it was the best accident ever! Yesterday I had the pleasure of redeeming my auction prize - virtually meeting with actress Katie Cassidy. Not only was Katie incredible but Chris Everette Charities and their rep Miriam were wonderful to work with and so helpful with coordinating the meeting etc But I can’t say enough about Charitybuzz. Jojo and others are amazing! They constantly stay on top of things, making sure everything is going well and handling any issues that arose. Not only did I “win” an incredible experience but I was able to donate to an inspiring organization. Looking forward to more auctions😊

Working with CharityBuzz as a partner is an outstanding experience. Thanks to their incredible team—Scott, Tim, and Aaron they are highly professional, prompt, and incredibly helpful with the links. Most importantly, they were lightning-fast with the after-auction recap. Highly recommend their services!

Scott and his team has always been responsive with all my questions and follow-up requests on how to redeem auction lots that i won on CharityBuzz

I’ve been a big fan of Charitybuzz’s sweepstakes platform since 2017 as donor (and hopeful winner). I was especially excited to see Kristen Bell’s recent campaign for the opportunity to meet her on the set of Nobody Wants This -- love that show! What I love most about Charitybuzz is that it combines the chance for truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the ability to support meaningful causes at the same time. It really feels like a hidden gem for both giving back and creating unforgettable opportunities. You can’t win if you don’t enter, so I’ll definitely continue participating!

Charitybuzz refused to provide documentation verifying that the charitable portion of a winning auction bid was actually donated to the advertised nonprofit. This type of receipt is typically required under IRS rules to substantiate charitable contributions, yet Charitybuzz would not provide it and made no effort to facilitate communication with either their donor-advised fund administrator or the nonprofit involved. Customer service email responses felt AI written and heavily reliant on rules and FAQs rather than addressing the customer’s issue. They were quick to say no to a refund request and then stopped responding to follow-up conversations (including answers to their questions).

DO NOT use Charity Buzz! This company and the people that work there are deceptive and unethical. I bought VIP Field-Level Suite & On-Field Access to a recent football game for my husband as a birthday gift and to cheer him up with his cancer diagnosis. We arrived two hours early but there were no seats available to view the FIELD. Only four seats were provided for 10 people crammed in the corner so we had to sit in the back where our view was obscured by the low ceiling and numerous distractions on the field. They should have listed these tickets as "obstructed view". We also didn't get the On-Field Access!! I was given a contact name (John Hines) and phone number for day of event but he never responded! Since we got HALF of what I paid for, I contacted Charity Buzz the next and they offered to refund the Buyer's Premium only (a charge they don't tell about until you purchase). Worse, is that John Hines said we never contacted him the day of the event. I sent the screenshot to show them he was lying and got no response. I should have received HALF of my money back since I received HALF of my auction item. Buyer beware!

awful! they don’t tell you anything when bidding and you end up paying a huge bitters premium on top of what you’re already gave. I would never use these guys again if I were a nonprofit organization.

The merchandise was not as represented. I bought a piece of art that was represented as original lithograph signed by the artist and I received a poster. The can’t be trusted
