Since our inception, we have been on a mission to provide remarkable experiences and custom travel packages to support nonprofits in their fundraising efforts. We don’t just offer high value, unparalleled travel packages; we provide experiences that have a genuine purpose – that help us give back and make a real impact in our community.
We donate a portion of our profits on every sale to send underserved youth to live sporting events and support athletic programs in need. Through sports, we hope to give kids the chance to see their role models in action, fuel their passion for athletics, and bring a little more joy to their day. How do we do this? Through the sale of fully customizable travel packages at live, silent, and online auction events. Every one of our packages is no commitment, no risk, and can be tailored perfectly for any company’s incentive travel.
Using our service is free. There are no sign-up or usage fees, and no transaction takes place until the conclusion of your event…and only for the experiences that sell above the reserve minimum. If bidding doesn’t reach the minimum you set, then it costs your organization nothing. Your organization keeps 100% of the profits over the reserve price and our experiences can be sold multiple times – doubling and tripling your profit! That’s how we get to deliver on our profit + purpose every single day – helping nonprofits raise more money.

Vela
Chief Squirrel Chaser
Hi, I’m Vela and I am the mascot here at Giveback XP. I was born in Kentucky, spent a few years in Austin, TX and currently reside in Nashville, TN. I like to begin each day with a good bone and hit the team up for 8-10 walks per day. I did not go to college, but I do have my “Master”! My greatest skill is barking during the most inopportune times; usually when my “paw-leagues” are on the phone closing a deal with a client.

Scott Ruprecht
Founder
Scott is the head cheerleader and founder of Giveback XP. Sports have always been a huge part of his life since he was a kid. Sports taught him winning and losing, discipline, persistence and going after opportunities. These lessons played a key role in his entrepreneur journey that began at the age of 27.
During a fly fishing trip to Belize with the founder of TOMS, he learned first-hand the importance of combining business with giving in order to make a greater impact in our communities. He became enamored with the idea of profit + purpose and that is the way he wanted to do business with his next venture. That’s when Giveback XP was born. He has always had a passion for taking an idea and trying to turn it into something that matters.
Scott is a graduate of The University of Dayton with a B.S. in Accounting. Prior to Giveback XP, Scott started and ran a fly-fishing travel company and built one of the top blue-water resorts in Central America. Scott has 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, growing and operating small companies.
When he is not working, Scott likes to spend his time fly-fishing with Giveback XP mascot (Vela), traveling, and working out. Scott is a member of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and serves on the board of EO Cincinnati.
