Why Charity Travel Packages Raise More Money Than Donated Items

Editorial Note:
If you disagree with the facts outlined here, you are part of the problem. You’re still buying into myths that actively damage your charity’s mission. What follows is not opinion — it is reality, grounded in 35 years of professional fundraising experience across the country.


Nonprofits often depend on donated items for auctions. But the reality is, baskets, gift cards, and logo swag rarely create bidding wars. Charity travel packages, by contrast, spark excitement, higher bids, and repeat sales.

At CharityTravelPackages.org, we go further than competitors with transparent pricing, unmatched versatility, and the ability to custom-build packages just for your event.


Why Donated Travel Falls Flat

Routinely, charities reach out to supporters for donated auction items. Imagine a donor contributing their vacation home:

  • Available only off-season (when bidders aren’t interested).

  • One-time sale only, even if multiple bidders want it.

  • Just the home — no all-inclusive meals, services, or concierge.

  • Members already know the donor and can go directly to them.

These limitations cap bidding interest and reduce revenue.


Why Donated Items Lose Steam Over Time

Charities often recycle donated trips year after year. The result:

  • Donor fatigue: Audience interest drops with each repeat.

  • Lower bids: Prices decline as excitement fades.

  • Lost potential: Great events lose their spark.

As I’ve witnessed countless times, repeating the same donated items is a bad practice that drags results down.


Why Charity Travel Packages Outperform Donated Items

  • Risk-Free: If a package doesn’t sell, you pay nothing. If it does, you keep everything above cost.

  • Sell-Multiple Advantage: Sell to two or more bidders in the same night — impossible with donated items.

  • All-Inclusive Experiences: Dining, daily housekeeping, transfers, concierge — everything donated homes lack.

  • Variety: Rotate Napa, Tuscany, Caribbean, and more to keep your event fresh.


Why CharityTravelPackages.org Leads the Industry

Unlike competitors, we don’t hide the details. We deliver:

Custom Packages on Request

If it’s not on our site, we’ll build it. No other provider offers this. Do you want to know why we are able to do this? Because we are actually a real travel agency specifically working with charities, the other providers - they work with middle-men.

Donated items often underperform, especially when recycled. Charity travel packages bring excitement, higher bids, and repeatable sales.
