Who we are

Why we built this page for DonationMatch nonprofits.

Most DonationMatch nonprofits are running raffles, school events, sports-team fundraisers, online drawings, and small-to-mid-size galas — not $250-a-plate ballroom galas with a 30-package live auction. The model that fits you isn't a 'live-auction headliner.' It's the $100 Golden Ticket: one capped run of low-cost tickets, one big-prize drawing at the end, no event venue required, no auctioneer required. DonationMatch fills your raffle table with donated items. HGA gives you the one five-figure-margin prize that turns a $1,500 raffle night into a $10,000 raffle night.

HGA Fundraising powers premium consignment travel and experience packages for 2,000+ nonprofit events every year — galas, auctions, golf tournaments, and online fundraisers. Everything we do is designed around one promise: maximize your nonprofit's fundraising potential, minimize your risk.

Reserve at no cost — pay only on packages that sell
Dedicated software specialist uploads every package into your event
Full digital media kit sent the day you reserve

2,000+ nonprofit events powered every year

The consignment advantage

Maximize your fundraising potential. Minimize your risk.

Consignment auction packages give your nonprofit the upside of premium travel and bucket-list experiences — without ever paying upfront. You reserve at no cost, your guests bid on them inside your existing DonationMatch event, and you only pay our reserve on packages that actually sell.

Zero upfront risk

No purchase, no inventory, no deposit. If a package doesn't sell, you owe nothing for it. Ever.

Premium upside

Curated travel and experiences donors actually compete for — bidding pools 2–4× deeper than donated items.

Turnkey + done-for-you

Software specialist loads every package into DonationMatch, digital marketing kit comes with the trip, white-glove fulfillment for every winner.

Three ways to use an HGA trip

Raffle. Silent auction. Live auction. Same trip — your call.

Every HGA package is the same package whether you use it as a raffle prize, a silent-auction lot, or a live-auction headliner. Pick the play that fits how your DonationMatch fundraiser actually runs.

$100 Golden Ticket Raffle

Sell 50–250 capped tickets at $100. One drawing. One winner picks the trip. Adds $5K–$25K of pure-margin revenue to a single event or online sale — no auctioneer, no event venue required.

Best for raffle tables

Vacation Station silent auction

Multiple-winner format on every trip, no blackout dates — sell the same Passport 10, 15, 20 times in one event. Built for raffle tables and silent-auction sheets, low minimum bid, premium perceived value.

If you have an auctioneer

Live auction headliner

Use the same trip on a live-auction stage. Verbatim auctioneer script ships with every package. Stack it on top of a Golden Ticket draw and double the take in one night.

Your dedicated Fundraising Specialist

One rep, end-to-end. Strategy, packages, scripts, and event-night plan.

You're not calling a 1-800 number. You're working with the same Fundraising Specialist from the first conversation through the gavel — they know your event, your audience, your goal, and your DonationMatch setup. They'll build a recommended package list, size your reserves, write your stage strategy, and brief your auctioneer if you have one.

Audience + goal sizing call (free, zero obligation, as long or as short as you need)
Recommended package list mapped to your fundraising target
Coordination with your DonationMatch event setup and your software specialist
Auctioneer briefing (if you have one) — or recommendations if you don't
Post-event reconciliation and roadmap for next year

No call centers. No churn.

Most DonationMatch customers we work with end up booking the same Fundraising Specialist year after year. The relationship is the product as much as the packages are.

Built for DonationMatch silent auctions

Vacation Station — bookable getaway packages, perfect for the silent-auction table.

The Vacation Station program is our flagship silent-auction family of trips: low reserves, high perceived value, and built to bid up on a DonationMatch bid sheet. Multiple-winner format on most of them — sell the same Passport 10, 15, 20 times in one event.

The HGA media kit — included on every trip

You don't write copy. You don't shoot photos. You don't design posters.

Every trip comes with a turnkey digital marketing kit your committee can use the day you reserve. Drop it straight into DonationMatch, your program, your social, and the on-screen loop the night of the event.

Print-ready, scan-to-buy from any phone.

Promo video

After the sale

Sell the trip. Hand us the winner. You're done.

Send us the winner's name, email, and phone — that's the entire hand-off. Within 24 hours, a dedicated HGA booking specialist reaches out and your team is officially done. No itineraries, no follow-up emails, no "did they ever book?" anxiety. Your nonprofit gets the credit; we do the work.

Hand-off in one email

The only thing the nonprofit owes us is the winner's name, email, and phone. We submit the trip and contact them within 24 hours.

Dedicated booking specialist

Every winner gets a real human at HGA — same name, same inbox, from first call to wheels-down.

2 full years to book

No blackout dates. Winners have 24 months to lock their dates (not to travel — to book).

White-glove, start to finish

Our in-house booking and customer-service teams handle every detail. Donors brag about the trip — and about the way the nonprofit treated them.

Sell it as many times as you want

There is no cap on how many times a package can be put in front of bidders — same night, next event, every year. Reserve once, sell again and again. The nonprofit only ever pays the consignment cost on trips that actually sell.
