Welcome to the Tripura Foundation Auction!

"I have a great resolve in this lifetime. It is to see that I do everything within my reach to fulfill my mission, which is to end poverty from the face of the earth plane. I want you to help me accomplish this goal." 

~ Dr. Pillai

  • Drapes from the "Hall of Truth" in his San Diego home
  • Clothing he's worn

Outbid Notifications: When you are outbid, you will receive a text message and an email notification with a link directly back to the item so you can update your bid. How will I know if I am winning an item? Log into your bidder account and click on "My Bid history" in the left navigation to see all the items you are currently winning, have placed bids on or are watching. How will I know if I won an item? When you win an auction item, we will notify you by email for each item you won. Shortly after the winning notification email, you will receive a second email that will contain a link to view your invoice/paid receipt. When you click the link within the email, it will bring you to your bidder account. From there you can view the invoice. You can also go directly to the main dashboard of your bidder account. From the "My Bid History" page, scroll down until you see the "Invoices Received" section. This section will list all the invoices you have received throughout the lifetime of your account. What is a “Buy it Now” item and how does it work? Some items may have a “Buy Now” price to purchase the item outright. This will bypass the bidding process and guarantee you will win the item. The buy it now price is fixed and non-negotiable. What is “Popcorn bidding”? Popcorn bidding simulates a live auction. Any bid placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction closing will reset the countdown clock to the 5 minute mark and begin the count down again. The item will finally close when no bids are placed in the last 5 minutes.*Please note this feature is enabled for the statue of Dr. Pillai. How to make a donation: At any time, you can bypass the auction to make a direct donation to Tripura Foundation. While you can do this on the Charity Auction website, making your donation directly through your Tripura account on www.tripurafoundation.org helps assure that all of your donation goes to Tripura without any fees. What to expect when the auction closes: All winning bidders’ credit cards will be automatically charged when the auction closes and will receive an invoice/paid receipt via email/text. There will be no option to change your payment method, so it is important to enter the correct credit card details when registering to place your first bid.
