Yes. LuxGive experiences can be used for both auctions and raffles. The consignment model works the same way — you only pay for the experience if it sells. For raffles, we recommend including a provision in your raffle rules stating that if the minimum number of tickets is not sold, the raffle will convert to a 50/50 split format (where half the pot goes to the donor and half to your organization). This allows us to maintain the risk-free consignment model for raffle items. Your Fundraising CoPopularHow Does LuxGive Compare to Other Consignment Companies?

Pricing & Fair Market Value
What Is the Reserve Rate (Nonprofit Price)?
The reserve rate — also called the nonprofit price — is the fixed price your organization pays LuxGive for an experience that sells at your event. It is always set below the market value of the trip. Here’s how it works in practice: Each experience has a set nonprofit price (e.g., $1,000). You auction or raffle the experience at your event. If the winning bid is $3,000, you pay LuxGive the nonprofit price ($1,000) and keep the remaining $2,000 for your cause. If the experience doFew readersWhat Is the Fair Market Value of an Experience?
The fair market value (FMV) — also referred to as the retail value — is the estimated market price of the trip if purchased directly by a consumer. This number is different from (and higher than) the nonprofit price. Why does FMV matter? For raffles: Donors typically want to know the retail value of the prize they could win. For tax purposes: Winners may need the FMV for tax documentation. We recommend discussing specifics with your accountant, as tax obligations vaFew readersHow Much Do LuxGive Experiences Cost?
LuxGive experiences range in nonprofit price from $995 to $20,000+, depending on the destination and package type. Our portfolio is organized into collections at different price points.

The general rule: Always set your minimum bid above the nonprofit price of the experience. This ensures that every winning bid generates profit for your organization. How pricing works on the portal: The first number shown (the green price tag) is the nonprofit cost — this is what you pay LuxGive if the experience sells. The second number (avg bid value) is the average bid value based on results from live auctions across our network. Factors that affect the recommenSome readers
After the Event
What Happens After My Event? (Event Closeout)
Once your fundraising event is over, here’s what to do: Report your results to LuxGive. Open your LuxGive portal to enter the winner's details. Provide winner details. For each sold experience, submit the winner’s full name, email address, and phone number. This is how we connect with them to begin trip planning. Receive your invoice. Your invoice can be downloaded immediately after entering winner details. This will reflect the nonprofit price of each sold eFew readersHow Does Payment and Invoicing Work?
LuxGive does not collect payment from your donors directly. Here’s how the payment process works after your event: Your event takes place. You auction or raffle the LuxGive experience(s) to your donors. You collect payment from the winning bidder. The donor pays your organization the full winning bid amount. You report the results to LuxGive. Enter the details of which experiences sold and provide the winner’s contact details (name, email, and phone number) in theFew readersWhat Are the Contract and Agreement Terms?
Before your event, LuxGive provides an Auction Agreement to confirm the experiences you’ve selected. Here’s what to know: The agreement locks in your selected experiences for your event date. It confirms which packages you’ll be offering to your donors. There is no financial obligation if an experience doesn’t sell. The agreement is not a purchase commitment — it simply reserves the experiences for your event. You can request a sample agreement before committing. CoFew readersTax Deductions and Donation Letters

We recommend consulting your accountant on specifics, as tax obligations vary by location and organization type. For trip winners: If a winner needs documentation for tax purposes, dFew readers
