If you are raising money for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, you may use TravelPledge, as well as WinningBidder.com auction software, which you may enable from your TravelPledge dashboard. Employees of the nonprofit or a private group raising money for the nonprofit are eligible.
When you sign up, enter the name of the benefiting nonprofit instead of any "for-profit" organization you may belong to. If you have the nonprofit's EIN handy, please provide it to save time verifying nonprofit status (Tip: look up the EIN in GuideStar).
Note: Most schools, school foundations and athletic programs have 501(c)(3) status and are therefore eligible. Your athletic department may have many smaller teams under one master 501(c)(3) organization, and each team is eligible to raise money separately with TravelPledge.
