For your fundraising team

Why this package wins for nonprofits

Venice has always been the dream that sells. The moment you mention gondolas gliding under historic bridges, Piazza San Marco at golden hour, and the Doge Palace—the room leans forward. This package captures that magic: 4 nights for two in one of Europe's most romantic cities, anchored by a guided St Mark's & Doge Palace Tour that immerses your winners in centuries of Venetian history and architecture. The consignment model means your nonprofit pays nothing today. Your reserve is $3,995—every bid above that flows directly to your mission. The appeal is effortless. Venice doesn't need selling; it needs offering.

For the winning bidder

The experience your winner walks into

Your winners arrive in Venice and settle into one of three hotel options—the Aqua Palace, Palazzo Veneziano, or Hilton Molino—each positioned to let them wake to the city's rhythm. They'll spend their days exploring the canals by gondola, moving beneath the historic bridges that define the lagoon. The centerpiece is the St Mark's & Doge Palace Tour, where they walk through centuries of art, power, and maritime glory in one of the world's most iconic squares. Between guided moments, they wander Piazza San Marco, drift through the winding streets, and absorb the timeless architecture that makes Venice unrepeatable. Four nights to move slowly, see deeply, and return home changed.
