Cruise Your Way to the Funds Your Group Needs
Give your 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization an opportunity to raise much-needed funds while donors enjoy voyaging to exciting destinations. As a way to give back, Travelex International has partnered with travel suppliers, most notably Carnival Cruise Lines, to provide distinctive fundraising events for groups looking to raise thousands of dollars.
A leader in the cruising industry for three decades, Carnival Cruise Lines eases the challenges of fundraising for your nonprofit. To ensure that your charity can raise needed funds, Carnival developed a special program to give supporters a cruise vacation while helping your cause.
Drawing on our fundraising travel expertise with access to Virtuoso® upgrades and amenities, our experienced travel agentswill design a program with your nonprofit’s goals and donor base in mind. The agent will help you choose the Carnival Cruise Lines sailing date for your nonprofit to promote. Supporters pay a cruise price that includes a fundraising contribution amount, which is an amount your charity sets. This price will be the same or lower than the customary cruise price.
As long as your nonprofit organization sells at least eight (8) cabins, Carnival Cruise Lines matches the fundraising contribution up to $10 per cabin per night on a 7-night or longer cruise. For every 16 paying passengers who cruise, Carnival will add one free passenger—excluding port taxes and airfare—to increase funds for the organization.
Your nonprofit will receive your contribution check(s) after the cruise, based on the number of cabins sold.
