At Winspire News, we are passionate about helping nonprofits raise more at fundraising events.
Today, for the first time in Winspire history, we're giving your donors a unique opportunity to make additional contributions outside the traditional fundraising event setting.
We are offering exclusive lodging deals at some of the most in-demand travel destinations around the world, for a limited time. Each booking will cost up to 50% less than advertised prices on Expedia or Hotwire. If you or any of your supporters mentions your nonprofit name while booking, you'll receive a check in the mail for 30% of the booking.
If you have travelers in your donor base, board of directors and trustees, organization staff and more - this is like finding free money on the ground. Why not pick it up?
Winspire Hotel Giveback
Since 2008, Winspire has helped nonprofits raise over $48 million by providing and fulfilling unique no-risk travel packages for fundraising auctions, raffles and more.
Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for nonprofits, while providing great value to your donors.
To that end, we are excited to launch the Winspire Hotel Giveback, a brand-new fundraising opportunity that's a win-win for you and your donors.
How it works: Anyone can purchase incredible boutique hotel and resort stays for up to 50% less than rates found on other travel providers. (Stays are valid through December 30, 2017 and subject to availability.) When they mention your nonprofit by name, you get 30% of the final booking cost. It's that easy!
With limited nights on sale at highly discounted rates, we expect them to sell quickly - and when they're gone, they're gone. But as a blog subscriber, your organization is among the first to access the sale.
Sample properties
Here are some of the outstanding properties people are booking right now in support of their favorite causes:

Charities across North America are taking advantage of this free opportunity. So far we've booked 60+ hotel stays around the world through the Winspire Giveback Program and sent over $8,000 to deserving Nonprofits - no extra effort required on their part. And we're just getting started!
