What should we do for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October?

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is your biggest chance to fund services for survivors. Your board, often women-led, wants an event that feels hopeful and never exploits the cause. A silent auction with the right items matches that tone. What sells well in this room: major sporting events, adventure-based trips, and international getaways like Ireland. These experiences feel aspirational without distracting from the mission.

There is no upfront cost to reserve travel packages for your silent auction. 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. This matters for Domestic Violence Support Organizations, where event budgets are often lean. You risk nothing by adding a few items, and the recommended starting bid ensures profit from the first bid.

This week, browse over 140 travel and experience packages that fit an October gala or luncheon. Reserve the ones that match your audience at no cost. Giveback XP provides marketing materials, a one-page PDF per experience, and helps you fine-tune the number of items. You can add packages even the day of the event. After the auction, you send winner details and the travel team books the trips.

Your October event raises more money without a heavy sales feel. Guests leave with something to look forward to, and you fund your mission for the year ahead. The auction fits your tone: hopeful, empowering, and focused on survivors.
