Browse ExperiencesContact Us
We work with museums, arts centers, and theaters all over the country.
Organizations like Moultrie Arts Center, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, and View Arts Center supplement their auctions with our experience packages.
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.
- An arts center in Georgia sold three different experiences at its February 2026 fundraising event: Ireland Emerald Escape, Big Sky Montana & Yellowstone Adventure, and Costa Rica Dreams – Family Vacation.
- An arts center in California sold Country Music Awards (300-level) (2026) and Wine Dine & Unwind in Crete at its April 2026 auction.

Are we too late in offering your experiences?
No, we can help last minute and even the day of your event. Seize the moment now and add high energy trips to your next fundraiser.
How does it work?
Browse over 140 experiences to excite your donors. Reserve what you like for free and receive the marketing information for your event. Pay only for sold items and keep 100% over the cost of the experience. Post-event, send us the winners’ details and our Travel Team will get your donors squared away.
What happens if we don’t sell an item?
You owe nothing for that experience. Zero.
Where should we start the bidding?
We recommend starting the minimum bid 15-20% above our cost. That way you have profit in it from the very first bid.
Can we sell multiples?
Yes, you can sell the same package multiple times if the bidding is hot, doubling and tripling your profit.
Will these experiences help us raise more money?
Yes, our experiences are designed to drive donor excitement and spark bidding frenzies.
Do you supply any marketing information?
Yes, we provide a 1-page PDF display with experience details, photos and videos when we have them. You will receive a marketing email once experiences are selected with helpful hints, pre and post event info.
How many experiences should we select for our event?
It depends on the number of people in the audience and your crowd. We can help you fine tune the right number of experiences for your event.
Do you handle the travel bookings and will you take care of our donors?
Yes, we book the experiences for your donors. We will send more than 3,000 donors on experiences in 2026.
How long does a donor have to travel?
Donors have up to 2 years to travel for non event-based experiences. For event-based experiences like Kentucky Derby, US Open, CMAs etc it is for that year’s event.
Ready to add experiences to your event?
Reserve for free. Pay only when an item sells.
