Why it works

Why It Works

The numbers make sense. The experience makes it memorable.

A travel package does something most auction items can't. It creates anticipation before the event, competition during the bidding, and a story that lives on long after. Patrons who win a travel experience don't just remember the trip. They remember where they were when they won it and they associate that feeling with you.

  • For Your Organization: You set the opening bid above our package cost. The winning bid is your fundraised revenue. We've partnered with many nonprofits and local organizations and every auction has generated positive returns.
  • For Your Patrons: The winning bidder receives a fully planned, personally curated travel experience. Not a voucher they have to figure out. An actual trip, designed for them, with Sunshine & Travel handling every detail from flights and accommodation to experiences and transportation.
  • For The Relationships: Every winning bidder becomes a traveler we work with directly. That means they experience first-hand what personalized travel planning feels like. Many become repeat clients. Your auction doesn't just raise money for your cause. It introduces your supporters to something genuinely valuable.

Questions about fundraising travel

What is a fundraising travel package?
A fundraising travel package is a fully custom travel experience created specifically for a nonprofit auction. Sunshine & Travel designs the package, the nonprofit offers it as an auction item with an opening bid set above our cost. The difference between our cost and the winning bid becomes raised revenue for the organization. After the auction, Sunshine & Travel works directly with the winning bidder to plan every detail of their trip.
How does Sunshine & Travel work with nonprofit and local organizations?
We start with a conversation about your organization, your patrons, and the types of experiences that would resonate with your audience. Based on that, we develop several custom-designed package options for your review. You request any modifications and give final approval. Once the auction closes, you connect us with the winning bidder we handle everything from that point forward.
Does the organization have input on the packages?
Absolutely! You know your audience better than anyone. After our initial discovery conversation, we return with several options built around what you shared. You review them, request changes, and give final approval. Nothing goes into your auction without your sign-off. After the winning bidder is announced, you provide us with the winner's contact information and we take it from there. We reach out directly to the winning bidder, learn about their travel preferences, and handle every detail of their trip from start to finish. If they want to add on to the base package, we coordinate that directly with the winner. Your organization has no further logistics responsibility.
