How do other charities get big trips for their galas?
If you run a banquet or award dinner for a children's hospital or pediatric charity, those trips are usually consignment packages any organization can list.
Your committee sees another nonprofit auction off an F1 weekend or a trip to Ireland and assumes a wealthy board member donated it. For a children's hospital or pediatric charity, that can feel out of reach. The truth is simpler than it looks.
Those big auction trips are almost never donated. They are consignment experiences that any organization can reserve with no upfront cost. For a children's hospital gala or pediatric charity dinner, the room is full of couples who came to be entertained and support the mission. The packages that work best here are bucket-list sports events, major golf tournaments, and top international destinations like Portugal or Iceland. The mission does the emotional work. The experience gives them a way to give big.
You set a reserve price above the cost and keep everything above it. A recommended starting bid is 15 to 20 percent above cost, so the event profits from the very first bid. If two families both want the same trip in a hot bidding moment, you can sell it to both. Nothing is bought upfront. If a package does not sell, you owe nothing.
Browse over 140 experiences and reserve what fits your banquet or award dinner. You get a one-page PDF display per experience with photos and details, plus marketing emails to help you promote them. Items can be added last minute, even the day of your event. Call Giveback XP and tell them about your audience size and evening format. They will help you choose the right number of packages for a shorter program and a smaller room.
Your auction lineup now includes trips that match the energy of the room. Couples bid on something they actually want. The organization keeps the profit, winners get two years to travel, and the booking is handled for you.
