How do we keep our event accessible for the people we serve?
Live auctions built for Adaptive & Special Needs Organizations, where the room includes the families who live the mission every day.
Your event brings together families who navigate accessibility in every part of their lives. If the fundraiser itself creates barriers, it undercuts the very mission you are celebrating together. Adaptive & Special Needs Organizations need an auction that feels as inclusive as the rest of the night.
The families in your room do not leave accessibility at the door. They live it daily, and your gala or family fun event has to match that reality. Mobile bidding means nobody has to crowd a table, push through a hallway, or stand in a line. The catalog can feature experiences that work for every kind of family, from bucket-list sporting events like Formula 1 and the US Open to Napa getaways and Italy trips. The auction itself becomes part of how you honor your community.
You never pay upfront for these travel and experience packages. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event. That means no risk to your budget and no pressure on your parent families to donate big-ticket items themselves. Every dollar raised above the reserve stays with your organization.
Start by browsing over 140 experiences and reserve what fits your crowd at no cost. Giveback XP provides a one-page marketing sheet per experience, with photos and details, plus an email guide to help you promote the auction before and after the event. You recommend a starting bid about 15 to 20 percent above cost, so the first bid already generates profit. After the event, you send the winning bidder details and the Travel Team handles booking.
Your event ends with a room full of families who felt seen, not sidelined. The auction raised money without straining the people you serve. Winners get a trip or experience they are excited about, and your organization keeps the profit. The night felt like your mission, start to finish.
