Local businesses tapped out for your children's charity auction?
Online auctions give children's charities and youth advocacy groups a fresh source of travel experiences for their gala or breakfast fundraiser.
Your board works hard to cultivate community support, but the same local businesses get asked by every youth program and school in town. By the time your children’s charity gala or breakfast fundraiser comes around, those donors are tapped out. Asking again feels bad for everyone, and you still need auction items that excite your crowd.
Children’s charities and youth advocacy groups like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boys & Girls Clubs rely on board-driven, community-minded donors. But the same restaurants, hotels, and shops get hit up by every school, sports league, and nonprofit in the area. When it’s time for your auction, those businesses have already given multiple times. You need a way to offer trips and experiences without making another call to a tapped-out local business.
Consignment travel packages solve this. You browse over 140 experiences, reserve what fits your crowd for free, and receive marketing materials ready for your online auction platform. You pay only for items that sell, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell the same package multiple times if bidding gets hot. Starting bids are set 15% to 20% above cost, so your charity earns from the first bid. Winners receive a certificate, and the travel team books their trip.
Stop asking local businesses for one more donation. Instead, visit Giveback XP’s catalog of experiences and reserve a few that match your event’s audience. Add them to your online auction platform using the provided PDFs, photos, and videos. Items can be added even the day of the event. You pay nothing upfront, and you are not too late to round out your auction lineup.
Your online auction now features real trips like Kentucky Derby tickets, a villa in Greece, or regional getaways. Local donations can fill the silent tables without carrying the whole fundraiser. You raised money without another ask, and your board can focus on your mission, not on chasing items.
