How TravelPledge Works

Connect with generous businesses

When a business posts an experience to TravelPledge, they specify donation criteria, the number of certificates to issue, and redemption instructions. Follow these steps to access items you qualify for and promote them at your auction.

1. Post your event details

Tell us about your fundraiser! We'll verify your nonprofit status and determine which experiences you qualify for. Creating your account is free with no obligation.

Get Started
2. Browse and select experiences

Select from B&B stays, local golf, luxury trips and other donated and partially donated experiences available to your event. Then, print flyers or load item information into your online auction system.
3. Sell your selections at auction

Promote your selections with confidence knowing you won't owe anything on experiences that don't sell.
4. Let us know what sold

After your event, log in to report winning bidders' contact information and bids. Upon payment, we'll email and text each winning bidder their certificate and the redemption instructions.
Running a raffle?

Raffle items are available to purchase before your drawing. Once we receive payment, you'll gain immediate access to the certificate for printing.

"How much will we raise?"

Each experience on TravelPledge displays a "percent you keep" of 40%, 60%, or 80% of the winning bid, as determined by the provider's donation settings. Our unique value share model guarantees you generate a meaningful donation.

For example...

Suppose you select the pictured vacation and, as instructed, start the bidding at $1,000. A donor named Judy Smith wins the vacation with a bid of $2,000.

After your event, you report Judy's bid and pay your invoice in TravelPledge. Since the "percent you keep" is 60%, your invoice shows $800 (40%) while you keep $1,200 (60%) as your net donation.

To book her vacation, Judy contacts Tombstone Monument Ranch per the redemption instructions.
