"I loved the diversity of the inventory and was very excited to see unique offerings that I hadn't come across with other companies."
Chelsi
Ronald McDonald House Charities
"I have worked with other companies that support nonprofits but TravelPledge is the easiest to use and the margins of what we earn are much larger."
Kristin

"The experiences they offer really help us include unique options as part of our silent auction. The best part is their customer service."

We partner with generous business owners who
post fully and partially donated auction items
for causes they support. Select items and access
promotional materials with a single click.
"The convenience of adding a few trips into our auctions helped us raise more funds than we could have on our own!"

Causes
Your cost varies with the winning bid amount so
you'll generate a meaningful donation even at
the starting bid. Forget the fixed-price
consignment travel packages where you often
break even, or worse!
"TravelPledge has the nonprofit's interest at the heart of their mission. Their formula is clear cut and provides the highest return."
Barb B., Auction Chair
Green Beret Foundation - Cincinnati
Donors
After your event, we send out certificates to all
winning bidders. Redemption instructions on the
certificate connect winning bidders directly
with our world-class experience providers.
No unnecessary forms or middlemen!
"It was so nice to have someone to communicate with and get questions answered right away. All our side trips were better than advertised!"

It's simple, we promise. Select auction items posted by generous businesses and promote them at your fundraiser. We'll email and text winning bidders their certificates and redemption instructions.
We partner with generous experience providers that want to maximize the promotional value they receive at charity auctions. Additionally, some providers receive revenue when one of their certificates sells to cover their fulfillment costs.
When posting a certificate to TravelPledge, our partner experience providers indicate which organizations and causes they support. Most support all 501(c)(3) nonprofits in some capacity with a fully or partially donated certificate. Their preferences determine the experiences you see in your TravelPledge dashboard and the percentage of the winning bid you would keep if you sell the certificate.
Your cost for a sold certificate is proportional to the winning bid amount. At a minimum, you’ll keep 80% of the winning bid for small-ticket experiences, like golf rounds, and 40% of the winning bid for big-ticket experiences, like vacations. The percentage you’ll keep is displayed next to each experience in your TravelPledge dashboard.
Creating your account is free, and you will not owe anything if a certificate doesn’t sell. We’ve designed our program to minimize your risk whenever a certificate doesn’t sell or sells near the starting bid.
After your event, log in to your TravelPledge dashboard to report winning bid information (name, email and amount) and pay your invoice. Once we receive payment, we’ll email winning bidders their certificates. The certificates contain redemption instructions.
