Where do we get auction items when our congregation can’t donate big-ticket things?

In a faith-based organization, the auction table reflects what the room can offer. Most people give what they can, but high-value items just aren’t sitting in the pews. A travel package changes that. It puts a real trip on the table without asking anyone in the congregation to donate something they don’t have.

There’s no upfront cost. You browse over 140 experiences, pick what fits your crowd, and receive a one-page display sheet for each. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event.

Start this week by picking a few packages your committee can get behind. Top sporting events like golf, college football, and NCAA basketball move fast in church crowds. Wine and bourbon trips work too. Show your pastor or leadership the reserve price and the no-cost-if-unsold terms. That transparency makes the ask easy. Giveback XP can help you choose the right number for your audience size.

After the event, you send the winners’ names and the travel team handles the rest. Donors have up to two years to book. Your auction gets fresh energy, your committee gets a break, and your church keeps the profit without risk.
