Why Travel Makes a Great Fundraiser
Are you a fundraising superstar looking for one of the best fundraisers that generates revenue for more than a few weeks or months? Enter travel fundraising. It’s perpetual, running 24/7, 365 days a year, effortlessly bringing in funds for your soccer club, band, cheerleading group, or scout troop. It’s Forever Funding™ for your cause!
Already Travel
Travel is already a part of most people’s routines, whether for work or leisure. 85% of Americans travel at least once a year, so turning those travel plans into fundraising opportunities is an easy decision.
There is also no need to wait for a specific season or holiday—travel fundraising taps into year-round habits. From business trips to family vacations, travel occurs every year for most of your group members, making it the perfect fundraising opportunity.
Make The Switch
Switching to travel fundraising is easy. Just swap out the URL of your current travel site (Travelocity, Bookings.com, etc.) to your unique Go & Give travel link, and you’re good to go. Or, just use the Go & Give mobile app (for Apple or Android).
Prices average 30% less (massive group rates–guaranteed lowest price), it pulls inventory from the largest travel sites, and the interface looks like the ones you already use.
It is also so easy to spread the love beyond your immediate group. Share the link and immediately share travel discounts with alumni, extended family, and friends, all while effortlessly expanding your fundraising network. No begging or guilt trip is required.
Gap Coverage
The best part is that travel fundraising acts as a safety net, and gap insurance, ensuring equal opportunity fundraising for all, without the need for constant sales pitches or begging for donations.
It can help cover the funding gap of kids who don’t quite make enough with other fundraisers–so everyone gets to go to the Rose Parade or Disneyworld!
Less Effort
Here’s a fun fact to chew on: Girl Scouts only make about $1000 per troop from cookie sales, but it takes hours of door-to-door sales and delivery. However, travel fundraising can bring in a similar amount with a similar size group—without any gas, cold weather, rain, or any extra effort—just set and forget since most of it is automated.
With your sports, school, or band’s extended network, your fundraising base can continue to expand, so your potential contributor base also increases over time without much extra effort.
What’s Holding You Back?
So, what are you waiting for? Say hello to one of the best fundraisers that is hassle-free and say goodbye to those tired old sales pitches.
With travel fundraising, your cause or club can kick its fundraising efforts into high gear, all while saving money and making memories. It’s a win-win for everyone!
