“Y'all are the top-shelf of everything you do. Our people who take your trips ALWAYS come back to us and say how amazing it was. That's why we keep choosing HGA for our travel auction items year after year.”

Rescuing Hope
For School PTAs, Boosters & Private School Events
Volunteer Time Is Limited. Don't Spend It Begging for Donations.
Stop wrangling parents for the same restaurant gift cards. HGA's consignment trips and experiences let your school run a bigger silent auction, live auction, and $100 Golden Ticket raffle — with zero upfront cost and nothing owed for items that don't sell.

Three months of volunteer hours for a basket of bath salts.
Your committee is exhausted. The same 14 families donated again. The auction is short, the items repeat from last year, and your parent network is being mined for the third time this school year.
Premium consignment packages built for every format your school runs.
- Risk-free consignment — reserve as many trips and experiences as you want at no upfront cost. Pay only on what actually sells.
- Maximize fundraising potential, minimize your risk: the consignment model gives you premium upside without your finance committee fronting a dime.
- Built for silent auctions, live auctions, and the $100 Golden Ticket raffle — stack all three at one event for a much bigger night.
- Family-friendly trips, vacation rentals, golf, and bucket-list experiences sized for school parent demographics.
- Save 80+ volunteer hours your committee was spending on donation outreach.
The Consignment Advantage
Consignment trips and experiences: maximize your school's fundraising, minimize the committee's risk.
Consignment auction packages and raffle prizes give your nonprofit the upside of premium travel and bucket-list experiences — without ever paying upfront. You reserve at no cost, your guests bid the night of the event, and you only pay our reserve on packages that actually sell. Every dollar above that is yours.
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 2–4x deeper than donated items.
Turnkey + done-for-you
Marketing kit, auctioneer scripts, personalized booking assistance for every winner. Your team is done at the gavel.
The $100 Golden Ticket
Don't just run an auction. Run a raffle next to it.
The $100 Golden Ticket is the single highest-yield add-on for a school auction or fundraiser. Sell 100–300 tickets at $100 each, draw one winner the night of the event, and the winner picks their bucket-list trip from our catalog after.
Same risk-free consignment model: zero upfront cost, you only pay our reserve on the prize the winner ultimately picks. Most events add $15,000–$50,000 of high-margin revenue with one Golden Ticket alone — stacked right on top of your silent and live auctions.
Stack all three at 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 we ship — silent-auction packages, live-auction headliners, Golden Ticket prizes, all of them — comes with a turnkey marketing kit your committee can use the day you reserve. QR-code posters for the room, professional photography, a 60-second promo video, written package descriptions, and a verbatim auctioneer script. We make it as turnkey as possible so you can just say yes and start selling.

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).
Personalized service, 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.

“I was very hesitant to do it, but that year we sold 9 or 10 items! One HGA auction item alone raised over $13,000 at our benefit auction. All of this is possible due to HGA's team of hospitality, travel, and fundraising experts who are there for you and your supporters.”
