About Inspirato 🏖️
Inspirato is a luxury hospitality company that manages, staffs, and maintains a portfolio of branded luxury vacation homes and partner hotels and resorts. They offer charity auction travel packages through Inspirato for Good, which aims to create unforgettable experiences for donors and generate higher bids for nonprofit fundraisers. The process is commitment-free, and beyond a modest reserve price, nonprofits receive the entire winning bid amount.
How it works 🔎
Inspirato works with your organization to design a travel package selection to suit the needs of your audience.
You'll add media content (provided by Inspirato) to your auction, including copy, images, retail value, and the minimum set price (reserve price) for the package.
If packages sell at auction, Inspirato will generate an invoice which is paid by your organization. Your organization keeps 100% of the profits above the set reserve price. You'll only pay for the packages sold at your event, and you keep every dollar raised above the reserve price. If no packages sell, your organization isn't charged.
Upon receipt of payment, travel is arranged directly between the winner and Inspirato.
Inspirato is only for use by verified nonprofit accounts on Givebutter.

After selling an Inspirato travel package, the nonprofit organization operating the campaign gets any profit beyond the reserve price set by Inspirato.
Inspirato for Good handles the entire reservation and booking process for the winner of the travel package. You do not need to manage travel plans for the winner or any aspect of the travel package.
If a donor wins or purchases a travel package through your auction and would like to contact Inspirato with questions, the Inspirato team will have access to their information – the winner's information is automatically forwarded.
FAQ 🤔
Do we need to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to use this integration?
