How do we keep raising money when our membership is aging and shrinking?

Many posts and chapters see their membership get smaller and older each year. The same few volunteers run the gala, the golf outing, the banquet. With fewer people in the room, a live auction that used to bring in tens of thousands now feels like it falls short. The mission still matters deeply, and the room still wants to give, but the old math stops working.

Travel packages come on consignment. You set a reserve, and you only pay if the item sells. You keep everything above the cost. There is no upfront purchase. You pick the experiences that fit your crowd, adventure trips, golf getaways, affordable international travel, and print the free display sheets. On event night, you run the live auction as you always have. The only extra work is choosing the right mix of packages for your bidders.

This week, browse over 140 travel and experience packages at Giveback XP. Reserve the ones that fit your post’s crowd at no cost. Add them to your next gala or golf outing, even the day of the event. You do not need to plan another fundraiser or stretch your volunteer crew thinner. One call gets you the display materials and the support to make your existing event bring in more.

Your next banquet or golf outing raises more per person. The auction feels fresh because the packages are new and interesting. Volunteers do the same work they always do, but the return is higher. The mission gets the funding it needs, and the room leaves proud of what they gave.
