TWO HIGH-PERFORMING MODELS
Built for Maximum Donor Participation
Whether your organization is filling a ballroom with high-capacity bidders or launching a digital campaign to acquire new supporters, Xtrava provides the magnetic centerpiece.
Auction Items
Give your live auctioneer items that ignite passionate paddle battles, and stock your silent auction with lots that keep bidders engaged all night long. When two top donors duel for an experience, sell a second identical package on the spot to double your impact.
- Zero upfront commitment: Reserve is deducted only from winning bids.
- Turnkey gala kit: High-res photography, custom display slides, and stage scripts provided.
- Runner-up sales: Instant authorization to sell duplicate packages to runner-up bidders.
- Post-event white glove: Xtrava coordinates travel, hospitality, and concierge fulfillment directly.
Digital Sweepstakes
Expand beyond the room. Offer once-in-a-lifetime access as an irresistible sweepstakes grand prize designed to attract new supporters and thousands of grassroots micro-donations — building your donor database and growing a loyal base of first-time supporters who can become lifelong advocates for your cause.
- Massive audience appeal: Broadway premieres, F1 access, and celebrity meet-and-greets drive high ticket volume.
- Acquire lifelong donors: Collect opt-in emails and supporter contacts from thousands of new participants.
- Full digital asset pack: Promotional imagery, email copy, and digital banners tailored to your campaign.
- Flawless winner fulfillment: We fly, host, and pamper your winner with 5-star concierge attention.
THE PARTNERSHIP ECONOMICS
Auction Items That Raise the Paddles
The most talked-about lot of the night is rarely a gift basket. It's dinner with a Tony Award–winning Broadway producer, a walk through a Formula 1 paddock, or a private morning on the greens at Pebble Beach. Xtrava brings those experiences to your stage, with clean economics that prioritize your charity.
Up-Front Cost
Nothing to buy, nothing to pre-pay. Completely free to consign on your auction roster.
0
Unsold Risk
If a package doesn't hit reserve or sell, your organization pays zero dollars.
Of the Upside
90% of every single dollar raised above the agreed reserve goes directly to your mission.
THE SWEEPSTAKES ECONOMICS
Grand Prizes That Fill Your Donor Database
Expand beyond the room. A digital sweepstakes turns one extraordinary experience into a nationwide donor-acquisition engine — collecting micro-donations from thousands of new supporters who each gain a chance to win, with clean economics that prioritize your charity.
Up-Front Cost
Nothing to buy, nothing to pre-pay. Launch your sweepstakes completely free of charge.
0
Unsold Risk
If the campaign doesn't reach its goal, your organization pays zero dollars. The grand prize is only fulfilled once the sweepstakes closes successfully.
Of the Upside
90% of every dollar raised above the agreed reserve goes directly to your mission — plus a database of new supporters to nurture for years.
