Online Auctions for Disease Research & Patient Charities

Bucket-list sports weekends and top destinations move the needle at health charity auctions. Formula 1, the Kentucky Derby, and the US Open attract bids from donors who care deeply about your mission. Napa wine country and Italian getaways also perform well because they offer a break or a celebration. These are not generic gift cards. They are specific, date-driven experiences that give your supporters a reason to bid high. Most packages sell 30 to 50 percent above cost, and you keep every dollar over that cost.

Your donors are personally connected to the cause. They show up ready to support it. That means they bid generously on experiences that feel special. The challenge is that every walk committee and gala in town taps the same local restaurants and shops. Consignment travel packages solve that. You offer something new without making another donation request. Because the experiences are not local, there is no donor fatigue from repeated asks.

There is no cost to reserve experiences. 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 the bidding 15 to 20 percent above cost so the first bid brings profit. How many experiences you offer depends on your audience size, and Giveback XP helps you figure out the right number.

You browse more than 140 travel and event packages. Reserve the ones you like at no charge. You get a one-page display sheet for each experience with photos, details, and videos when available. During your event, guests bid using your online auction platform. Afterward, you pay only for the items that sold. Send the winners’ names and Giveback XP’s Travel Team handles booking, with up to two years to travel for most experiences.

Your auction catalog is full of things donors really want. You raise more without added risk or local business fatigue. The travel details are managed, so your team focuses on the cause and the guests in the room.
