Fundraiser Cruises
| Your group can use cruising as a fundraiser. Carnival and some others offer matching funds for non-profit groups to help them raise funds and have fun at the same time. The example below is Carnival's program. Please contact The Vacation Stop for complete details on how your group can combine a fun group travel trip with fundraising. |
Carnival's Matching Fund Plan and how it works.
With bookings of 8 staterooms, 16 guests or more, Carnival will match (donate) $5 per guest, per day on your group's fundraising
efforts: 3 day cruise, $15 per guest; 4 day cruise, $20 per guest; 7 day cruise, $35 per guest, etc.
Example:
- The cost of your 3 day cruise is $399 per guest
- Your non-profit organization marks up the cost
of the cruise by $15 or more (this is your
participant's donation)
- You promote the cruise to your group at a cost of $414
Carnival will match up to $15 per guest on a 3 day cruise
for a combined $30 contribution ($15 from the markup and
$15 from Carnival's match). That's $30 per guest, or $60
per cabin, that your group raises!
Example:
- The cost of your 8 day cruise is $899
- Your non-profit organization marks up the cost of
the cruise by $60 (this is your participant's donation)
- You promote the cruise to your group at a cost of $959
Carnival will match up to $40 per guest on an 8 day cruise for
a combined $100 contribution ($60 from the markup and
$40 from Carnival's match). That's $100 per guest, or $200
per cabin! Sell 20 staterooms, earn $4,000; sell 50 staterooms,
earn $10,000.
In addition to our matching funds, you can earn one free stateroom for every 15 staterooms sold.The dollar value of that stateroom
will be based on the average value of staterooms sold (excluding miscellaneous charges). Using the 8 day example above, you would
earn three free staterooms for every 50 booked.At an average value of $760 per guest, based on double occupancy, you would earn
an additional $4,560 ($760 x 2 per cabin x 3 staterooms = $4,560)! This dollar amount can be contributed to your organization. Or
you can raise additional funds through raffle ticket sales of "Fun Ship" cruises with these free staterooms being used by the winners.
