Turn Travel Into Powerful Fundraising
What if your next charity auction could offer more than a vacation?
What if you could offer a bucket list experience your donors will talk about long after the auction is over?
For 35 years, Elite Travel has been creating extraordinary travel experiences around the world, and we bring that same expertise, creativity, and buying power to charities and nonprofit organizations through our customized Luxury Charity Vacation Packages.
Our Luxury Charity Vacation Packages are designed for silent auctions, live auctions, charity galas, nonprofit fundraisers, benefit events, foundations, schools, community organizations, and fundraising events of virtually any size.
Most importantly, we don’t believe every charity deserves the same package.
We tailor our Luxury Charity Vacation Packages to your charity’s needs, theme, audience, and fundraising goals.
We Sell the World
Elite Travel is not limited to a small catalog of predetermined vacation packages.
We sell the world.
Imagine offering your guests an incredible European experience, a private villa overlooking the Mediterranean, an African safari, an exotic journey through Asia, a private yacht experience, a luxury rail journey, a helicopter experience, an island escape, or an extraordinary adventure designed entirely around your event.
Europe. Africa. Asia. The South Pacific. The Middle East. Central America. South America. Private yachts. Helicopter experiences. Luxury resorts. Villas. Adventure. Wellness. Food and wine. Culture.
Whatever your heart desires, talk to us.
Our goal is to help you create a Luxury Charity Vacation Package that feels like a true bucket list experience.
Your charity tells us what you envision.
We help bring that vision to life.
Your Charity. Your Theme. Your Bucket List Experience.
Every charity is different.
Every audience is different.
Every fundraising event is different.
So why should every organization be offered the same travel packages?
Elite Travel takes a personalized approach.
We learn about your organization, your supporters, your event theme, your fundraising goals, and the type of experiences that will excite your audience.
Then we tailor Luxury Charity Vacation Packages specifically to your charity’s needs.
Whether your audience dreams of Europe, private yachts, helicopter experiences, luxury resorts, cultural adventures, culinary journeys, wellness escapes, safaris, or once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list experiences, we can create something designed to get people bidding.
One Trip Can Become Multiple Winning Trips
Here is where Elite Travel can take your fundraising opportunity to another level.
What if one auction trip could become multiple winning trips?
As a bonus, our Charity Event Specialists will explain how we can structure certain eligible packages so that after the final winning bid is established, additional qualified bidders may also have the opportunity to purchase that same trip at the final bid price.
Instead of having just one winner, your charity may have the opportunity to create multiple winners from the same Luxury Charity Vacation Package.
Depending on the package, availability, event structure, and agreed terms, that could mean offering the same trip multiple times and, in certain circumstances, potentially 50 times or more.
Consider what that could mean for your fundraising.
One package.
One exciting round of bidding.
One final bid price.
Multiple potential winners and multiple opportunities for your charity to raise additional funds.
This strategy is one reason our charity travel programs have been so successful over the years.
Our Charity Event Specialists can explain how the process works and help you determine whether this strategy fits your fundraiser.
Designed to Help Your Charity Raise More
Our Luxury Charity Vacation Packages are competitively structured with fundraising in mind.
The charity receives an established package cost and can decide how to position the experience at its silent or live auction.
When bidding exceeds the package cost, the charity can retain the additional amount raised.
Our goal is to keep our margins reasonable, so the charity has greater fundraising potential.
We are not here simply to sell a vacation package.
We are here to help your charity create an exciting fundraising opportunity.

What If the Winning Bidder Changes Their Mind?
Travel plans change.
Someone may enthusiastically bid on one destination during your event and later decide they would rather experience somewhere completely different.
Elite Travel understands that.
Depending on the specific package terms, the value paid may apply to another destination or travel experience, subject to availability, restrictions, and any applicable price difference.
Maybe they originally won a European vacation but now dream of an African safari.
Maybe they want to upgrade their experience.
Maybe they decide they would rather experience a private yacht.
Our travel specialists can work with them to discuss available options.
That flexibility is an important part of the Elite Travel difference.
We don’t simply provide an auction certificate and disappear. We work with the charity, and we work with the traveler.
