What Our Customers Say
More Testimonials From Nonprofits
"TravelPledge has been a great fit for our organization because of how simple and intuitive the platform is. When we need items for an event, we can log in, build our catalog quickly, and know we’ll have strong options to offer. Their team has always been responsive and helpful, which makes the whole process smooth.
The materials they provide—photos, descriptions, and overall presentation—give our auction a professional and authentic look without adding extra work on our end.
We’ve used TravelPledge for several years now because the variety is excellent, the platform is easy to navigate, and the nonprofit return is consistently stronger than what we experienced with other consignment companies. It’s been a reliable, effective way for us to raise funds, and our bidders love the experiences—some have even become annual favorites."
"The golf package was one of our top-performing items, but the best part came later when the winning bidders actually played it. They had a terrific time and told us the certificate redemption process was simple and clear. That matters because donor trust doesn't end when the auction closes. From an organizer's standpoint, the overall process was smooth. Good support, good materials, and stronger net revenue than we saw from more traditional consignment offerings."
"One of my biggest worries with experience-based auction items is what happens during redemption. If the redemption process is clunky, it reflects poorly on the nonprofit. That wasn't the case here at all. The certificates were delivered automatically, the winners could print them when they were ready, and the booking process was straightforward. We heard positive feedback instead of follow-up complaints, which is exactly what you want after a fundraising event. And yes, the event performed really well financially too."
"Every spring, we end up asking the same local businesses for the same things, and honestly, it gets tiring for everyone. This gave us another lane. We still included community donations, but adding TravelPledge experiences gave the auction a greater range and strengthened the entire catalog. We also liked that our winners could check out easily and receive certificates automatically, so a lot of post-event busywork just disappeared. We'll absolutely use TravelPledge again for future fundraising events."
"We had a terrific experience with TravelPledge at our recent McDazzle Gala and Auction. I loved the diversity of the inventory and was very excited to see unique offerings that I hadn't come across with other companies. We will definitely be using TravelPledge more in future galas."
"TravelPledge, by far, is the best program for nonprofits. Other travel consignment agencies keep a large percentage of the money raised, leaving a small percentage for the charity. TravelPledge has the nonprofit's interests at the heart of their mission. Their formula is clear cut, consistent and provides the highest return. Tons of packages to choose from and a fabulous support staff making TravelPledge my first choice in selecting items for our auction and raffles."
"The Men of Saint Brigid have been working with TravelPledge for three years. The Experiences they offer really help us include unique options as part of our silent auction. The TravelPledge folks are very helpful in advance of our event and the entire process is completely thorough. The best part is their customer service. Always on call!"
"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. Their platform gave us access to unique experiences we could not have gotten on our own and a vast selection to choose from. In addition, they also provided features that helped promote our event and auction items. My favorite was the sponsorship feature. I will absolutely use TravelPledge again."
"After a lot of research, I came across TravelPledge and so glad I did! I couldn’t have been more impressed with the experiences offered and the fantastic customer service given to us as we planned our silent auction. I’ve worked with a number of companies to help secure silent auction items and TravelPledge by far had the best prices that come back to the nonprofit. Thank you for helping us elevate our auction to the next level."
"I thought the TravelPledge process was super easy. I loved how I could print out the sheets to have at the auction. I also loved how available TravelPledge was to me as an adviser. Checkout was a breeze. Certificates were emailed to winners so fast!"
"I found out about TravelPledge when I went to a local golf course soliciting items for a Silent Auction that we were having. Working with TravelPledge was a great experience. The staff was extremely helpful and the process was very easy. We raised over $800 using TravelPledge for just a few items at our Silent Auction with very little effort on our part. I highly recommend using them to help raise funds for your organization."
"I used TravelPledge for our high school band boosters silent auction, and it was amazing!!! Not only were their auction items unbelievable but the process was so easy. We sold golf time at three different courses and raised $500 for our band! From the selection options to checkout, TravelPledge was fantastic. Cori, our account services rep, was so helpful and walked me through what I thought would be a stressful experience. It couldn’t have been easier or more profitable. I would definitely use them again."
"Our event was a complete success, raising over $7,500 for essential search and rescue services. We could not have done this without your support and the support of organizations like TravelPledge. Your support was crucial to our fundraising event and we are deeply grateful for your participation."
"The customer service and level of attentiveness at Travelpledge is superb. We also love the trips and items that are available, they have really boosted our performance at auctions. We highly recommend Travelpledge!"
"Working with TravelPledge could not have been a better experience than what we had. Just the fact that they donated to our event was very generous. Everyone I communicated with was extremely friendly and very helpful. They were quickly responsive to any questions and continue to follow up even now, after the event to make sure everything was a smooth, wonderful process. We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with them. Thank you so much, TravelPledge."
"I'm the type of person that wants to know every bit of detail before I make a decision. Al at TravelPledge not only promptly answered every question I had but also helped me navigate their services when my plans unexpectedly changed. Al made the process wildly easy and helped me land on a destination that was ideal for my needs."
"We just used TravelPledge for our silent auction and had a wonderful fundraiser! TravelPledge had a variety of vacations, memorabilia, and activities that our attendees loved. I definitely think it is worth checking out for your next silent auction."
"We are a Christian School and used this site for an online auction. We couldn't have been happier. We were going to pay for a site and then found this one. It met all of our expectations and more. We can't thank them enough for their help in getting it set up and whenever we called they answered all of our questions. I can't recommend enough. We only used a couple of their vacations. 95% of everything we sold was donated items we received locally."
"The TravelPledge team has always being attentive and helpful in a timely manner. They offer an array of great additions to your events and we have found the platform and team to be a pleasure to work with. We've worked with them for the last 3 years and we will continue to do so!"
"I have used Travelpledge for many years at different not for profits as our online tool for auctions. It is very easy to use and has some great trips to select from as well as it makes it very easy to upload your donated items. Receiving payment is very prompt. Thank you for making our online auction a success!"
"TravelPledge has provided a variety of local and national trips. Their staff have been incredibly helpful during the entire process, answering questions, explaining how the process works, and just have been an overall delight to work with."
"This was the easiest auction site, and silent auction, I have ever used. Can't stress this enough, just use them. So simple, and customer service was so easy to get ahold of."
"I had a great first time experience with this company. I needed a little extra help getting my account set up and finding an item for bidding. Annamarie was extremely helpful and kind and made what could have been a stressful situation into a pleasant and positive one. The item I was able to get helped my organization surpass our expected goal! I would definitely use them again in the future."
"Our foundation and guest had an amazing experience using TravelPledge for our silent auction at our 2nd Annual Golf Tournament. The previous year we struggled trying to get quality donations for our auction. This year, TravelPledge took that stress away! Our guest were able to bid on things like Wine Tasting, Golf Weekend getaways, trips to Costa Rica, a variety of memorabilia and more! If you are a non-profit, I highly recommend TravelPledge to help you raise the money you need. We were able to raise close to $5,000 in one day!"
"This was my fourth time to use TravelPledge for my non-profit fundraiser event for Mentors Care. The process to create an auction is very easy. The TravelPledge experiences were awesome. Our auction was a huge success and made a lot of money for Mentors Care. I will be use TravelPledge, again, for our next event!!"
"Easy to use platform, loved that I could use more than 1 picture to showcase an item. Fast response when I had a question, very easy to set up and use. LOVED the option to have "popcorn bidding" at the end of the auction to have a bidding war to help make more money. Already planning on using them again next year for our auction. Also LOVED the items they were able to provide for our auction, we had a great event and raised more money than last year. PLUS no hosting fees so all money goes to you not to the web hosting company."
"St. Lucia is a lovely destination in the Travel Pledge lineup. Rodney Bay is quite possibly the most beach friendly place in the Caribbean. Warm turquoise water with lots to do. Thank you for another great experience!"
"We have worked with TravelPledge as part of our auction fundraising for 5 years. They offer a bunch of travel vacations and experiences, are easy to work with and have allowed us to generate a significant amount of proceeds for our fundraising efforts."
"TravelPledge is the BEST! If you're a non-profit looking for a fundraiser, look no further! The experiences are top notch and their customer service is exceptional! I'm so pleased we found them!"
"I was hesitant at first to use this tool, but they were responsive, supportive and had great options. We sold several in our fundraiser and they were profitable. The profit was more than a traditional consignment option."
"TravelPledge is an easy way to enhance your fundraising efforts. I first used them in 2020 when we had to cancel our annual fundraiser and needed to make sure we found ways to continue to make money for our non-profit. I have used them since and they make everything so easy. I truly like the fact that if one of the trips doesn't sell, we don't "lose". If trips sell, we "win"!"
"TravelPledge is a great resource for auction items. They have a nice variety of items for travel, golf, and experiences. We appreciate their easy resources and tools for market item sheet & bid sheets. Their check-out procedure is quick and easy to navigate. Our auction winners have always given us great feedback on their winning items. We appreciate TravelPledge for adding an elevation of items to help us raise funds."
"Have used Travelpledge items in our Kiwanis auction for 2 years. It is easy to navigate their site, choose from the available trips, get the information in a nice format for the auction, and close the account once the Auction is completed. They have simple but elegant instructions to use their site and the vendors who supply trips are very detailed in what they are offering. The folks who won bids on trips last year were all happy with their travel experiences. I'd award them that 5th star if they had more offerings in the Pacific Northwest, where my clients tend to come from."
"TravelPledge really made a difference for our fundraiser! The experiences offered were amazing and added great items to our auction! TravelPledge was very easy to use, when I had questions they were very responsive and helpful! We also used their Winning Bid online bidding program. Wow, what a change at the end of the auction, it really made things easy!"
"What an easy site to use to spice up your silent auction/raffle. For those small nonprofits looking and wondering if this site is legit, it is, so no worries there. 2nd year in a row we have used TravelPledge to enhance our auction. So thankful for this organization!"
"We have benefited greatly from using the TravelPledge platform. As someone who hosts several fundraisers a year, TravelPledge has saved us time and money by doing the legwork of offering auction items preset to choose from. The fact that we can choose from preset items and also add in our own items makes this an incredible tool for us. We are excited to have finally found an online auction platform that has an excellent model... and is really easy to use!"
"I have worked with Travel Pledge for several years selecting items for an auction I run. I find the whole process easy and efficient. It is easy to select items from what is available. All the info is there for you including pictures. Checkout is super easy because the charity collects all the money and is simply invoiced for the percentage owed to travel pledge. There is no upfront cost or waiting for your money. As soon as you pay the invoice, travel pledge sends out the packets to your winning bidders and there is nothing else you need to do."
"This is my third year using TravelPledge and they continue to impress us. Trips, stays and activities that fit our donors budget, knowing we can pick as many as we like with no chance of loss. Successful event once again - trips were a big hit! Look forward to using TravelPledge for our next event!"
"TravelPledge offered many different options at various price points for us to use in our auction. It was extremely easy to choose them on their website and get them the information at the end of our auction. They very very quick to send the winners their certificates. I will be using them again for our next auction."
