Charity auction travel packages are trips a school or small nonprofit adds to a fundraiser at no upfront cost. You pay a nonprofit cost only if the package sells, and you keep the rest. Examples include a Las Vegas VIP weekend, a Mexico family resort getaway, a Napa Signature Weekend, and an Iceland trip. CharityAuctions.com is the only platform where nonprofits can browse risk-free consignment items and run their entire auction in one place — no separate vendor, no extra logins.

Charity auction travel packages are ready-made trips a school or small nonprofit can add to a fundraiser at no upfront cost. You pay a nonprofit cost only if the package sells. If it does not sell, you owe nothing. This model is also called risk-free auction items.
Real examples include a Las Vegas VIP weekend (nonprofit cost $900), a Mexico family resort getaway ($2,200), a Napa Signature Weekend ($4,200), and Iceland: Choose Your Own Adventure ($4,995). Each one comes with listing copy, a Display Sheet, and a kit.

This guide teaches how travel packages work and how to pick a trip for your crowd. When you are ready, create a free account. To see every package, browse risk-free auction items.
Step 1: Browse and pick. You pick trips from a consignment catalog. Examples include a Las Vegas VIP weekend, a Mexico family resort getaway, a Napa Signature Weekend, and an Iceland trip. Each package lists a retail value and a nonprofit cost (the minimum you pay if it sells).
Step 2: Add the trip to your auction. Selected packages go into the auction you already run. No payment is required to list them. Descriptions and images come with the item.
Step 3: Your bidders compete. Bidders bid as they would on any auction item. Set the opening bid at or above the nonprofit cost so a sale cannot go below cost.
Step 4: You keep the rest. If the package sells, you pay the nonprofit cost and keep everything above it. If it does not sell, you pay nothing.
Example. Las Vegas VIP Weekend for Two has a $900 nonprofit cost and a $2,500 retail value. If it sells above $900, you pay $900 and keep the rest. If it does not sell, you owe $0. Create a free account to see every trip.

Chairs often use a trip as a headline lot. Guests can picture the weekend. That is harder to do with a gift basket.
A travel package also fills a high-value slot when donated items run short. You do not buy the trip up front. You pay only if it sells.
Use 1 or 2 travel packages next to the donated lots you already have. See live auction items if you want more headline ideas.

Built on demand to match your crowd or budget. Custom items are optional after you create a free account.
Know your crowd. A school or booster auction often fits a city weekend or a family resort. A wine-night crowd may want Napa or Tuscany.
Match cost to the room. For events with ticket prices under $100, start with trips under $1,500 nonprofit cost, like a Las Vegas VIP weekend. Use higher-cost trips when guests already spend on travel.
Use 1 or 2 travel packages as live lots. Too many trips can split the room. Pair them with donated items. See live auction items.
Set the opening bid at or above the nonprofit cost. That keeps a sale from going below cost.
Prefer flexible dates when you can. Packages with a longer redemption window are easier for more guests to bid on.
Ask for a custom package if nothing fits. Custom items are optional. Create a free account, then ask only if you need something that is not on the list.
