What gEvents does

gEvents, LLC is a privately-held professional services firm headquartered at 11815 Southwest Terra Linda Street, Beaverton, Oregon, that delivers end-to-end event production and fundraising auction services to nonprofit organizations, education foundations, and faith-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest. The firm is led by founder Patrick Siver (Benefit Auction Specialist) and JillMarie Wiles, who was crowned International Auctioneer Champion in 2001 and has specialized in fundraising auctions since 1994; together with a small core team they execute auctioneer, emcee, AV, livestreaming, content creation, and volunteer management workstreams. The core product is not a software platform but a service bundle: gEvents designs and runs fundraising auctions and golf tournaments from concept through gameday, integrating third-party Auctria auction software for online/live auction mechanics.

The firm's go-to-market is consultative and direct: prospects schedule consultations via Calendly, receive custom-priced proposals, and engage gEvents on a professional-services basis (billing referenced as multi-year contracts). No intermediaries, resellers, or distribution partners are used. Notable client engagements include Faithful Friends (March 2023 event raising over six figures), Sherwood Education Foundation (sold-out Sip & Spell since 2017), the 2023 Xi Wang Gala at Nebulous Taproom, and The Campbell Course/First Tee Greater Portland (three consecutive record-breaking years, 2020–2022). The proprietary service differentiator is a hybrid event model introduced in 2022 that overlays an in-studio audience onto a virtual livestream base, claimed to expand fundraising reach and outcomes.

gEvents, LLC is an Oregon-domiciled LLC with no institutional funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing. Revenue, headcount, and pricing figures are not publicly disclosed. The firm holds National Auction Association membership and Benefit Auction Specialist (BAS) accreditation, with both principals carrying additional credentials (CAI, CTM). Operations are described as active and ongoing.

Direct peers

• GalaBid: Mobile and online auction platform for charity galas and fundraising events, used by nonprofits and schools — directly comparable as a benefit-auction software peer serving the same nonprofit customer.
• Greater Giving: Benefit auction and event management software for nonprofit fundraising galas and auctions, including mobile bidding and event-night tools — directly comparable as a software peer serving the same nonprofit auction customer base.
• OneCause: Leading fundraising auction and event software platform serving nonprofits and schools with online auctions, mobile bidding, and event management — directly comparable to the technology layer gEvents supports via Auctria, and targets the same nonprofit fundraising customer.
• ClickBid: Online and mobile auction software focused on nonprofit fundraising events, including silent auctions and paddle raises — directly comparable auction software peer for nonprofit fundraising.
• Handbid: Mobile bidding and auction platform built specifically for nonprofit fundraising events, including galas and live/silent auctions — same end customer (nonprofits, schools, foundations) and same core use case (fundraising auctions) as gEvents.
• CharityAuctionsToday: Online and mobile auction platform purpose-built for charity and nonprofit fundraising events — directly comparable auction software peer serving the same nonprofit fundraising auction niche as gEvents.
• Auctria: Online and live auction software platform for nonprofits and charities; gEvents' named technology partner. Highly comparable because both serve the benefit-auction use case for nonprofits and schools, and Auctria is the platform layer that gEvents' services are built around.

Emerging players

• Qgiv: Online fundraising platform for nonprofits offering event registration, auctions, and donation tools — comparable as a fundraising platform that includes auctions for the same nonprofit customer base gEvents serves.
• Givebutter: Modern fundraising platform for nonprofits that includes online auctions alongside donations, events, and peer-to-peer campaigns — overlapping use case (nonprofit fundraising including auctions) but with a broader platform scope than gEvents' focused service.

Broad incumbents

• Bonterra (formerly Network for Good / Greater Giving): Suite of nonprofit fundraising and CRM solutions including event and auction functionality — broader incumbent serving the same nonprofit fundraising customers with a wider product portfolio than gEvents' specialized offering.
