Step 1: Create your account and submit event details

Start by creating a free account and entering your nonprofit and event information. If you already have an account, simply sign in.

Once submitted, your organization will be reviewed to confirm eligibility. You’ll receive a confirmation email when your account is approved. In the meantime, you may still browse a limited selection of items.


Step 2: Choose experiences for your event

After your event is set up, browse and select experiences to include in your auction or raffle.

Auction items

  • Add items with no upfront cost

  • Pay only if the item sells

  • Receive suggested starting bids and ready-to-use promotional materials

Raffle items

  • Purchased at a fixed price before your drawing

  • Available immediately after checkout

  • Certificates can be downloaded and distributed to the winner


Step 3: Promote and sell at your event

Use the promotional materials available in your dashboard to showcase your selected experiences during your auction or raffle.


Step 4: Report results and fulfill winners

After your event:

  1. Log in and report which items sold

  2. Enter winning bidder details and final bid amounts

  3. Submit payment

Once completed, TravelPledge sends each winner their certificate along with redemption instructions via email and text.
