One package. Many destinations. Something for every bidder in the room.
HGA Passports bundle multiple curated trips into a single auction item — so the winner picks where they want to go. Beach lovers, Europe travelers, golfers, domestic-only — every donor in the room sees a trip they'd actually take. That's why Passports are HGA's highest-performing silent auction and raffle items.
The single biggest reason auction items underperform: not everyone wants to go to the same place.
A Tuscany villa is a great prize — for the donors who want to go to Tuscany. The other half of your room walks past it. Same with a Cabo package or any single-destination item.
A Passport is one auction item that contains every kind of trip — beach, Europe, domestic, golf, adventure. The winner picks from a curated catalog after the event. Suddenly there's something for every donor profile in the room, and your bidding pool is two, three, four times deeper.
That's why Passports consistently out-perform single-destination items at silent auctions and raffles, and routinely set the high- hammer at live auctions.

Gala. Silent auction. Raffle. Golf tournament. Passports work everywhere.
Especially silent auctions and raffles, where the prize has to appeal to every donor walking by — not just the ones who want one specific destination.
Silent auction
Built for the bid sheet
Silent auctions live or die on broad appeal. A single-destination trip loses every donor who's already been there or doesn't want to travel that far. A Passport gives every walk-by bidder a reason to write a number.
Raffle / Golden Ticket
The easiest raffle prize you can sell
When the prize is one trip, half the room walks past. When the prize is 'pick from a curated catalog of beach, Europe, golf, and domestic getaways,' everyone in the room is a buyer.
Live auction
Higher hammer, no objection
Auctioneers love Passports because they kill the 'we just went there' objection cold. The bidding pool stays deep all the way to the hammer.
Pick the Passport that fits your audience.
Each Passport is its own curated catalog of destinations. Pick the one that fits your donors — or pair two for a silent-auction-plus- raffle stack.
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.
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.
Every winner gets a real human at HGA — same name, same inbox, from first call to wheels-down.
No blackout dates. Winners have 24 months to lock their dates (not to travel — to book).
Our in-house booking and customer-service teams handle every detail. Donors brag about the trip — and about the way the nonprofit treated them.
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.
Maximum bidder appeal
Couples bid harder when they can pick the destination instead of being locked in.
Curated, not generic
Every property in every Passport pool is hand-selected by HGA's travel team.
White-glove fulfillment
Same dedicated HGA travel specialist as our single-destination packages.
Risk-free consignment
Reserve a Passport at no upfront cost. You only pay our reserve if it sells.
Sell it to multiple bidders
Passports can be sold to more than one bidder at the same event — or year over year.
24 months to book
No blackout dates. Winners have two full years to lock dates after they claim.
Stop letting half your donors walk past your auction items.
Add a Passport (or two) to your next gala, silent auction, raffle, or tournament. Risk-free reserve, white-glove fulfillment, every donor in your room sees a trip they'd actually take.
