Look what we do for YOU!Fundraisingcruises.org has three main ways
to help your Non-profit agency 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! 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 continuing 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.
Fundraisingcruises.org is part of 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. Over 5000 Villas are available in the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Hawaii, Tahiti, Napa Valley and more!

Why Cruises and Villas?
Cruises: Great value! With a cruise, the fun is included! Why not dance 'til dawn, then order room service? Go ahead, climb a rock wall, then attend an art auction. When you cruise, you'll be able to live it up at no extra cost because the fun is included. Check out these amazing complimentary perks: Delicious meals in elegant dining rooms, extravagant buffets, and 24 hour free room serviceBroadway-style shows, comedians, nightclubs, lounges and bars, many with live entertainment. From classical to rock.
Karaoke, game-style shows, contests, piano barsOnboard activities like rock climbing, bowling, ice-skating, miniature golf, golf simulators, water parks, pools, Jacuzzis, and more!
Villas: Great Value! Why be stuck in a cramped studio hotel room with 1 or 2 beds? Our Villas have 2 to 42 bedrooms with space to really relax and unwind. Example: $4000/week 5-bedroom Villa for 10 guests – only $800 per couple.

Yes We Can !
Charities and nonprofit organizations have called us for yearsasking for cruises for their fundraising auctions.
We always just said no, because the cruises lines
rarely provide free cruises anymore. Now we tell you YES! and with this seminar today,
we’ll show you how to do it.
Fundraisingcruises.org has provided hundreds of cruises and villas for nonprofit auctions.Cruise packages are available around the world. Anything from 3-night Bahamas cruises to
110-night around-the-world cruises are available from all of the major cruise lines. Luxury yachting packages are also available.
Over 5000 Villas are available in theCaribbean, Mexico, Europe, Hawaii, Tahiti, Napa Valley and more!
7
Yes, YOU Can!
There are no costs upfront or later for charities and nonprofit organizations to offer our trips at their auctions. Trips are only paid for if they sell at the event, and only after the winning bidder has paid for the trip. If a trip does not sell -- the charity owes us nothing!
8Cruises Inc./WTH Confidential © 2009 All Rights Reserved
We will send you a list of some of the no-risk trips we have offeredat other fundraising events around the country.
This is only a small list of trips available.
Call me with questions and we can discuss which trips you would like to offer at your upcoming event.You can offer one or all of them. Remember you only pay us if they sell!
Most of our trips have minimum bids between $1500.00 and $7500.00.
We can provide trips for $500.00 or less or even Luxury One-of-a-kind Cruises or weekly Villa rentals for over $20,000.00/week.
We suggest you offer 3 trips at 3 different price levels A trip for under $1000.00 A trip for $2,000 to $5000.00 An upscale Luxury trip for $$$$$ ?????
We just need to decide what has the best opportunity to sell and make the most money for your particular organization.
The trips may relate to the theme of your event. A trip may be something a particularly generous patron would be interested in and would surely bid on!
Some organizations choose a very upscale Luxury trip to help market the event to potential attendees.
If word gets out you will be offering 5-bedroom Luxury Villa in Tuscany Italy at your event – you may increase attendance!
Yes, YOU Can!

Yes, YOU Can!
If the trip sells at your auction, you collect the money from the winning bidder and send us the minimum amount to forward to the Cruise line or Villa. You keep the difference. We will email you certificates for each trip for you to give to the winning bidders. We would like to know the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of each winning bidder within 5 days after the event. We would like to receive a check for the minimum bid amounts, within 10 days after the event. We would like you to mention Fundraisingcruises.org / Milestonecruises.com at your event. We usually want to be included in any printed materials. We would like you to mention us in a follow-up letter to patrons (if you do one) and allow a link to our web site from a follow-up email (Again, if you do one) We want you to be thrilled with our services and utilize our trips for your upcoming events!
We work with the Cruise lines and Villa management company
to obtain the best possible price for your auction.
They may provide a special discount for your event.
They may offer a special promotional price during a non-peak period.
We try to find the best prices possible and the best values for the price!
We have offered trips with a minimum bid of $4500.00,
which have sold at the auction for over $20,000.00!

A Note on Airfare
We may include round-trip airfare on some trips, however in our experience including generic airfare can substantiallyincrease 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 they actually take the trip and these airfares are almost always a fraction of the cost of generic fares purchased as part of an event package.
