Welcome to the IISE Silent Auction!

Opens November 21 – Closes December 5, 11:59 PT

Thank you for joining us for the International Institute for Sexual Empowerment’s (IISE) first online silent auction! We’re thrilled to invite you into our community and offer a selection of meaningful, mission-aligned items generously contributed by supporters and partners.

IISE is a virtual community center dedicated to creating a safe, shame-free space to explore sexuality, identity, relationships, pleasure, healing, and personal empowerment. Through facilitated groups, discussions, and creative programming, we bring people together to talk openly, learn deeply, and grow with confidence.

Your participation directly supports our work.

All proceeds from this auction go toward strengthening and expanding IISE’s programming, including:

  • Empowerment Groups that offer supportive, transformative conversations

  • Book Groups that explore sexuality, liberation, culture, and personal growth

  • Movie Club discussions that unpack the stories shaping our understanding of identity and intimacy

  • Special Programs & Guest Speakers who bring new expertise, joy, and insight to our community

Currently, all of our group leaders volunteer their time. With your support, we can begin offering stipends for facilitators, as well as bring in impactful speakers and educators who elevate the experience for our entire community.

How You Make a Difference

Every bid—big or small—helps us:

  • Sustain a brave, inclusive, sex-positive space for learning and connection

  • Compensate the incredible facilitators who make our programs possible

  • Expand our offerings and welcome even more voices into our community

  • Build a future where sexuality is approached with openness, respect, curiosity, and empowerment

Thank You for Being Here

We’re grateful for your support, your bids, and your belief in what IISE is building. Together, we can continue growing a vibrant community that empowers every person to explore their sexuality with confidence and care.

Happy bidding—and thank you for investing in this important work!
