Travel packages are some of the most lucrative charity auction items you can include in your fundraising event. Offering unique and exciting experiences allow your donors to utilize their existing travel budgets, which is money they already have set aside for vacations throughout the year.
Before you begin selecting which travel package auction items to include in your next event, it’s important to understand where your donors want to go. While simply asking donors is usually the best way to find out this information, you can also look to overall travel trends to get a better idea of what packages might be most popular and generate the highest bids.
