The Foundation Trip

Group travel can put the "fun" in "fundraising"!
Your organization can set up a fabulous group trip at amazing prices all while raising money for your worthy cause. Here's how it works:

1. The leaders of your organization estimate the number of accommodations the group would require.
2. Our travel experts will contact the appropriate suppliers and set your group up with a fabulous rate on a fantastic package. We will discuss, at that time, how much per person your selected fundraiser will net for your organization.
3. You would share the trip details with your organization and patrons.
4. Anyone who wants to book a trip would be able to do so independently and have it applied to your group code.
5. Once the trips are paid in full (usually either 45 or 30 days prior to arrival), you will receive a full accounting of your group bookings and how much money was raised for your organization.
6. Have a great trip!
7. Upon return, within 30 days of trip completion, your organization will receive a check for the amount disclosed prior to departure.

*Note: certain room minimums and contract requirements may apply.

The Guided Tour

This is our absolute FAVORITE fundraiser!
​
The guided tour is very similar to the group trip except that your pricing will include one of our area experts. This is a very popular option for European Flexible Itinerary Travel (FITs). It provides your guests with a single point of contact from the beginning of the booking process all the way through to the actual trip itself. Having "wheels on the ground" also ensures that you have an advocate immediately available should anything go wrong while you are traveling. In some cases, our experts even speak the local language! Parlez-vous français?

Note: The guided tour minimum accommodation requirements are similar to the group trip minimums above but usually require a more substantial down payment from the travel guests as flights are generally due at the time of booking. A representative will not book their travel until the booking minimum is met. Like the guided tours, your group leader will receive a full accounting of the fundraiser earnings 30 days prior to departure and your organization will receive a check for the fundraiser proceeds within 30 days of trip completion.
