We were so grateful to partner with Winspire for our gala; the team truly helped make our event a success. The variety and quality of travel experiences offered made it easy for us to find packages that resonated with our guests and maximized engagement in our auction.
Our coordinator, Lauren, was exceptional to work with. She took the time to understand our goals and even shared top-selling packages within a price range that fit our budget, which made planning so much easier. After the event, the process of distributing vouchers to our winning bidders was completely seamless.
Thank you, Winspire, for helping us create an unforgettable experience for our supporters while supporting the kids we serve!Danielle, Boys & Girls Club of Rochester
St. Anne Catholic School has truly enjoyed partnering with Winspire over the past two years for our Golf Tournament and Gala. The experiences they offer are unique, exciting, and bring a wonderful “wow factor” to our auctions. What stands out most is the Winspire team’s communication, flexibility, and genuine commitment to helping nonprofits succeed. They make the entire process easy and enjoyable, and their goal is always clear—to help organizations raise meaningful funds for their most important priorities. The experiences have performed very well at our events and helped us increase our fundraising. I’m especially grateful for the support of Joe Furmanski, Fundraising Specialist, who has been fantastic to work with and always willing to help in any way he can.
Maureen Bournazian, St. Anne School
From my very first email, the experience was seamless. I was met with genuine support, clear guidance, and exceptional professionalism. Ryan Foley, the fundraising specialist I worked with, was incredibly organized, attentive, and made each step easy to understand. We offered two live auction packages—one that sold twice and another that sold three times.
I would recommend Winspire to any organization looking to elevate their auction experience.
Claire Franco, We Fortify
In the last year, our company has increased our selection of items from Winspire for our managed foundations. All around, it has been a win for our managed foundations. Our internal team can rely on the team at Winspire to be reliable and responsive to our unique needs. Our donors have had a wonderful experience with the team at Winspire on the fulfillment side. I have had some great feedback from the auction winners about the level of experience of their packages. One winner said that the experience exceeded their expectations and the auction description. We can’t wait to grow with Winspire.
Andrea Baker, Prolanthropy
Thank you so very much for all your help and support along the way while we partnered with Winspire for the first time. Thank you again, Kirstyn, for the kindest follow-up and sending along extra tools for our success-I will undoubtedly spread the word to my colleagues in the non-profit word how fantastic Winspire is!

Kim was once again amazing to work with. Anticipating various packages that would suit our guests. I just wish we could’ve included more of the great items on offer — hopefully next time!
Lindy R., Shakespeare & Company, Lenox MA
As a non-profit board member and winner of a trip, Winspire provided a great experience from both perspectives – easy to arrange, easy to book, and had a great experience. I would recommend to try it out!

Winspire made selecting the best auction items easy for our organization. From the early planning stages to invoicing our winning bidders, the process was seamless.

Browse More FAQsHow does Winspire’s consignment model work?
To use Winspire’s consignment model, your nonprofit will first reserve the Experiences you want to include in your fundraising event by adding them to your Suitcase (cart) and clicking the “Reserve Experiences” button when you’re finished. After your event, you’ll report which packages you awarded to event participants and pay the Nonprofit Cost (list price) for each Experience that sold. You then keep all of the funding you raised above the Nonprofit Cost to support your mission.
What do you mean by no-risk auction items?
Winspire’s no-risk promise means that there are no upfront costs for reserving Experiences, and you only pay for what you sell at your event. If bidding or raffle ticket sales for any packages don’t reach the minimum price you agree upon in advance with the Winspire team (usually the Nonprofit Cost plus 20%), we won’t charge you for those Experiences.
Can my organization sell Winspire Experiences more than once?
Yes! If bidding for a particular Experience becomes competitive, you can pause the back-and-forth and award that package to the top two (or more!) bidders. Or, you can feature the same Winspire experience in two different parts of the same event, such as a live auction and a silent auction or an auction and a raffle.
Does Winspire provide marketing or display support?
Yes! When you reserve an Experience for your event, Winspire will provide multiple high-quality photos that you can incorporate into marketing materials, slideshows, or catalogs, along with a detailed package description to reference as you create these assets. You’ll also receive a PDF display sheet that you can print and set up at an in-person silent auction or raffle if you’d like.
How do winning bidders book Winspire vacations?
After your event, all you need to do is provide a Winspire-issued voucher to each winning bidder. Your winners will then use those vouchers to book their vacations through the Winspire Booking & Concierge Service, which is included in the cost of every Experience. Our travel agents will handle all reservations and make any changes travelers request (e.g., adding extra excursions or nights at their hotel) with no additional work required for your nonprofit.
What conditions for winning bidders typically come with Winspire Experiences?
Most Winspire Experiences need to be booked within one year of the event at which the winners purchased them, and travel must begin within two years of the purchase date. Blackout dates are uncommon, but we’ll communicate them in advance as they usually depend on third-party vendor availability. The exceptions to these rules are Experiences that are tied to specific events (sports, awards shows, etc.), since winners have to use them on that event’s scheduled date.
