Charitable Travel Auctions

Want to travel for a good cause?

Why not bid on travel experiences via online auctions, where the proceeds actually go to charity?

Charitybuzz.com auctions off high-end experiences, such as five nights in a luxury safari lodge for two in South Africa, with the minimum bid starting at $2,750.

The proceeds of these auctions go toward nonprofit partners, such as Musicians on Call, which brings live music to people in hospitals.

Another site called GenerousAdventures.com offers outdoor adventure experiences, lodging packages, and eco-tours, with proceeds benefiting nonprofits such as Habitat for Humanity and the Rainforest Action Network.

BiddingforGood.com offers online auctions where you can bid on luxury cruises, Caribbean vacation packages and roundtrip tickets, with the proceeds going toward organizations such as the Red Cross and the United Way.
