A Completely Free Way to

Supercharge Your Fundraising

We Give Your Charity Complimentary Travel Incentives.

Your Supporters Get a Dream Getaway. Your Cause Gets More Donations.

What If Your Next Fundraising Email

Could Offer a Luxury Hotel Stay?

Every charity faces the same challenge: donor fatigue. People want to give, but when every appeal looks the same, inboxes fill up and response rates drop.

What if your next campaign gave supporters something genuinely exciting in return for their generosity?

Not a pin badge. Not a tote bag. A real, complimentary hotel stay at a destination of their choosing—Paris, Cancun, Rome, the Gold Coast, or dozens more around the world.

PARIS

CANCUN

ROME

GOLD COAST

That is exactly what I Support The Cause makes possible—and it costs your charity absolutely nothing.

How It Works

  • Step 1 — We Provide Your Incentives. Free of Charge.

    We supply your charity with complimentary travel incentives—hotel stays of 3 to 5 nights at premium 4 and 5-star properties, and hotel savings cards valued from $50 to $500. You pay nothing. There is no setup fee, no subscription, and no catch.

  • Step 2 — You Email Your Database With an Irresistible Offer.

    Your charity sends its supporters a straightforward proposition: make a donation to [Your Cause] and receive a complimentary hotel stay as our way of saying thank you.

    Because the incentive has genuine, tangible value—and because travel appeals to virtually everyone regardless of age, income, or background—response rates climb significantly above those of a standard donation appeal.

  • Step 3 — We Handle the Fulfilment. You Collect the Donations.

    When a supporter donates, we send them their travel certificate by email. They have 7 days to activate it, then 18 months to choose their travel dates and destination. The entire fulfilment process is managed on your behalf by RedeemVacations.com—a company that has successfully fulfilled over one million vacations since 2007 and helped travellers save more than $750 million they would otherwise have had to spend at retail accommodation rates.

    Your team does not need to manage a single booking. Your job is simply to do what you do best: champion your cause.

Why Travel Incentives Work So Well

Oxford Economics Research Finding

People are 3 times more motivated to take action when offered tangible incentives like travel than when offered cash incentives like discounts.

"People are able to remember and visualise tangible items better than cash, and are therefore more actively engaged."

This research principle translates directly to charity fundraising. A supporter who might scroll past a standard donation appeal stops when they see the possibility of a complimentary stay in Santorini, New York, Kyoto and Boracay or dozens more around the world.

The incentive does not diminish their generosity—it amplifies it. Supporters feel genuinely rewarded, which builds lasting loyalty to your cause and increases the likelihood of repeat donations.

Where Can Your Supporters Travel?

The destination list spans the globe. Here is a snapshot of what is available:

The full destination list covers over 30 countries.

What Your Supporters Actually Receive

Transparency matters—both for your charity's reputation and for your supporters' confidence. Here is exactly what the incentive includes and what the recipient is responsible for:

Included (complimentary)

  • 4 or 5-star hotel accommodation, 3 to 5 nights depending on destination

  • Room valued at up to USD $350 per night at retail rates

  • Up to 4 guests per room

  • 18 months to travel after activation

  • Full fulfilment managed by RedeemVacations.com

Recipient's responsibility

  • Activation fee (covers hotel taxes): approx. USD $33–$80 per night depending on destination

  • Flights and transfers to the destination

  • Food, beverages and personal expenses

  • Resort fees where applicable (standard industry practice)

Bookings require a minimum of 30 days advance notice. No timeshare presentations or sales pitches are ever required. Supporters simply activate their certificate, choose their destination and dates, and travel.

What Travellers Say About RedeemVacations

When you offer your supporters a travel incentive, you are putting your charity's name behind the experience. Understandably, you want to know the fulfilment partner is one you can trust. Here is what thousands of verified reviewers say:

Trustpilot

Redeemvacations.com

ProductReview.com.au

Across more than 3,900 independent reviews on three separate platforms, RedeemVacations consistently earns high marks for delivering on its promise. These are real travellers who received incentive certificates—exactly like the ones your supporters would receive—and chose to share their experience publicly.

The reviews reflect what happens when the fulfilment model works as designed. Your charity's reputation is safe.

Why Are These Incentives Free to Your Charity?

This is a fair question, and you deserve a straight answer.

We work with a network of hotels and resorts that have unsold room inventory. An empty room generates zero revenue for the property. By helping fill those rooms, the hotels recoup income through in-house dining, spa services, room service, and the likelihood of future bookings from guests who fall in love with the property.

The travel incentives are fulfilled by RedeemVacations.com, which has operated in this space since 2007. In that time they have sent over one million families on vacation and enabled recipients to access more than $750 million in complimentary accommodation that would otherwise have cost them full retail rates. They fulfil more incentive vacations than all other providers in their industry combined—which is why the hotels partner with them, and why the economics work for everyone involved.

We are remunerated by our travel partner for distributing their incentives. That arrangement has nothing to do with your charity's fundraising revenue. The donations your supporters make go directly and entirely to your cause.

Your charity receives the incentives at no cost. Your supporters receive a genuine, high-value reward. Everyone benefits.

Hotel Savings Cards: A Flexible Alternative

In addition to complimentary hotel stays, we also provide hotel savings cards in denominations ranging from $50 to $500. These work differently to the stay certificates—supporters use them to access discounted rates across a broad inventory of hotels worldwide through our booking platform.

Savings cards are ideal for campaigns where flexibility is important, or where supporters prefer to apply savings toward their own existing travel plans. They also make excellent donor recognition rewards for higher-level giving tiers.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Is there really no cost to our charity?

Correct. There is no charge to your charity for the incentives, no setup fee, and no ongoing subscription. We are remunerated separately by our travel partner. Your fundraising revenue is untouched.

Question 2: What size database do we need to make this worthwhile?

There is no minimum requirement. Campaigns work for charities with a few hundred supporters and for organisations with hundreds of thousands. We will discuss what a realistic outcome looks like for your specific situation during your discovery call.

Question 3: Do our supporters have to attend a timeshare presentation to use the hotel stay?

Never. There are no timeshare presentations, no sales pitches, and no obligations beyond the standard activation process. Recipients simply pay the applicable taxes and fees to activate their certificate, then book their stay online through RedeemVacations.com.

Question 4: How long does the supporter have to use the incentive?

Once a supporter receives their certificate, they have 7 days to activate it. After activation, they have 18 months to choose their travel dates and destination. Bookings require a minimum of 30 days advance notice.

Question 5: Are there destinations available outside Australia?

Yes. The destination network is global, covering major cities and resort destinations across the USA, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and beyond. Full destination details are available during your consultation.

Question 6: What about supporters who do not want to travel internationally?

Domestic destinations are available in several countries, including major Australian cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Cairns and more) and UK city breaks. Supporters choose a destination that suits them from whatever is available in their region.

Question 7: Can we use this more than once a year?

Absolutely. Many charities incorporate travel incentive campaigns into their regular fundraising calendar—running separate campaigns tied to different giving milestones, events, or times of year.

Question 8: What do we tell our supporters about how the hotel stays are provided?

Full transparency is encouraged. The certificate clearly states that the stay is being fulfilled by RedeemVacations.com, the leader in travel incentive fulfilment. They have been operating since 2007, have fulfilled over one million vacations, and carry a 4.7-star rating on both Trustpilot (2,146 reviews) and ProductReview.com.au (1,116 reviews). Supporters can review the terms and conditions before activating, and the booking process is handled entirely online through the RedeemVacations platform.
