AFA Virtual Year-End Silent Auction

Thank you for joining Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA)'s Year-End Silent Auction. As British Columbia's leading charity dedicated to protecting endangered old-growth forests in the province, AFA is raising funds in preparation for another ambitious year of campaigning, rallying support, and exploring and documenting the beauty and destruction of these incredible forests, while ensuring a transition to a sustainable second-growth forestry industry. All proceeds from the auction will go toward this critical work.

Auction items have been kindly donated by local businesses across BC, and we're extremely grateful for their generosity.

How to Join the Auction 

1. Create your account
To start bidding, you’ll need a free 32Auctions account. It only takes a minute to sign up, and your information is kept safe and secure. 

2. Browse and “heart” your favourites
Click the heart icon on any item you love to keep an eye on it. You can easily find your favourites later under your account. 

3. Stay in the loop
Turn on email or text notifications so you’ll get an alert if someone outbids you. That way, you won’t miss out on your top picks! 

4. Try proxy bidding
Set your maximum bid and let the system do the work for you. 32Auctions will automatically bid on your behalf — just enough to keep you in the lead, up to your max limit. 

5. Watch the clock
The auction closes at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, December 2nd (Giving Tuesday). Once it ends, no further bids can be placed, so be sure to submit yours early! 

6. Easy checkout for winners
If you win an item, you’ll receive an email with simple instructions on how to complete your payment and arrange pickup or delivery (if applicable). 

7. Want to help even if you don’t win?
You can still make a difference! Donate to the AFA through our secure Donation Page to directly support old-growth forest protection in British Columbia.  

Optional extra tips for first-time bidders: 

• You can browse all items without creating an account — sign up only when you’re ready to bid.
• Once logged in, your dashboard will show your bids, watchlist, and any updates in one place.
