  Welcome To Charity Workshop

 

Welcome to Fundraisingcruises.org and Fundraisingtrips.org

   We have three main ways to help you with Fundraising:

1) We create customized no-risk travel packages which will earn top $$ at your fundraising events.

You never pay us for a trip unless it sells at your event!

Offer our trips at your Silent or Live fundraising auction.

Our packages can include private jets, limousine service, personal chefs, cooking classes, wine tours, and other upscale amenities. With our Patron Support Program, you have the opportunity to provide continuuing funding year-round. We can provide a Free "Cruise Auction Fundraiser" web site for your organization.

2) We setup group cruises of 16 to 1600 on any cruise line to any cruise destination. Although all of the cruise line programs are different, typically they will make a donation to your organization for each cabin sold. If you have at least 30 guests (15 cabins) they will provide a Free cabin you can raffle, auction, or use some other way to increase your fundraising dollars.

3) We provide cruises as an incentive for a raffle or as an incentive for a walk, run or other event. A cruise is perceived as a much better "prize" than cash, gift certificates or almost any retail item.

We are the philanthropic arm of Milestonecruises.com and Cruises Inc. Since 1981 we have sold cruise vacations from all of the major cruise lines and many small specialty cruise lines to our clients. We now also provide weekly Luxury Villa rentals from our partner, Villas of Distinction. We rent Villas in the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Tahiti, and Napa Valley. Contact us at 866-354-0288 or send an email to dave@milestonecruises.com

Here are examples of trips we have offered at other Fundraising auctions around the country:
This list is just to provide a few ideas of the wide variety of choices available for your fundraising event. We try to customize the trips for your event to fit with your theme or to provide trips which will appeal to the patrons who will attend your event.
 

A note on airfare – We may include round-trip airfare on some trips, however in our experience including generic airfare can substantially  

increase the cost and reduce the amount of money you net from the auction sale. Many auction winners have frequent flyer points to use, have flight discounts from relatives or friends working for the airlines, may have access to private jet services, or may use their auction trip as part of a business trip in which the airfare is already paid. We help the winning bidders find the best promotional airfare available before their trip and these airfares are almost always a fraction of the cost of generic fares purchased as part of an event package.
