A new corporate supporter is Buy Once Give Twice, an exciting new partnership where charity lots are recycled and auctioned again for charity. The TSA is one of 50 Founder Charities.

Major charity auction events are elegant, extravagant, exciting occasions. The lots - large and small - are luxurious, lavish and indulgent. Sometimes they’re absolute one-offs.

After the event some buyers can’t redeem their purchases. Buy Once Give Twice gets buyers to re-donate such items and re-sells them, for charity, via the web. Charities and corporate and individual supporters also donate new items to the site, direct.

In a nutshell, it’s a top-quality, full-time, online charity auction. It’s great for buyers (there are some truly lovely things for sale), and it’s a really lucrative fund-raiser: for very little effort, charities take 90% of the net proceeds* paid for any item.
