How can a vacation increase fundraising?

• Vacations can sometimes be hard to justify. With our program we can offer access to higher quality vacations for the same dollars or less. Further we can provide the feel good component in the form of a donation in the travelers name to the charity. Same dollars, same behaviors… much better results.
