How It Works
Simple Steps.
real fundraising results.
AmFundGo makes it easy to bring extraordinary travel packages to your fundraising event. Here is how the process works from start to finish.
01
Get Set Up
Create Your Organization's Account
Getting started with AmFundGo begins with setting up your nonprofit’s account. This gives your team access to the platform where you can browse available vacation packages, view details, and prepare for your fundraising event. Your account is the home base for your organization’s AmFundGo activity.
02
Get Set Up
Tell us about your event
Every fundraising event is different. A formal gala, a golf tournament, a school auction, a hospital foundation event, and a community fundraiser may each need a different mix of travel packages. That’s why AmFundGo is designed around your event, not just your organization.
Provide key details such as your event date, audience, location, auction format, and expected attendance. By connecting your selected packages to a specific event, your dashboard becomes easier to manage and your materials easier to access.
03
Select
Browse vacation packages
Explore a curated library of vacation packages. Review destinations, package details, included experiences, travel terms, suggested event use, and promotional resources. Luxury resorts, romantic escapes, European adventures, tropical beaches, family-friendly travel, once-in-a-lifetime experiences: AmFundGo helps you identify packages that match your audience.
You know your donors. You know what excites them. AmFundGo gives you the ability to use that knowledge to make smart, confident selections.
04
Select
Add packages to your event
When you find a travel package that looks right for your fundraiser, simply add it to your selected packages. Instead of a traditional shopping cart, AmFundGo uses an event-based selection process: your selections connect to your fundraising event and appear inside your dashboard.
From there, you can review your choices, compare packages, remove or adjust selections, and prepare the materials needed to promote them, without the pressure or confusion of a traditional online checkout.
05
Confirm
Review and confirm
Before moving forward, your organization reviews the details: the packages selected, how they may be used, what materials are available, and what responsibilities apply under the AmFundGo program.
Because AmFundGo operates through a consignment-style model, this step matters. You are not simply purchasing travel packages online. You are selecting travel opportunities to use as fundraising tools for your event, subject to the program terms and package details provided. You’ll review the relevant terms, confirm your event information, and make sure your team is ready to proceed.
06
Prepare
Access your event dashboard
Once your packages are confirmed, your AmFundGo dashboard becomes your central resource hub. View your selected packages, download promotional materials, access instructional resources, review frequently asked questions, and contact the AmFund team for support. Depending on the package, available materials may include:
- Package descriptions
- Destination images
- Email language
- Bid sheet and auction description language
- Package terms and restrictions
- High-quality destination images
- Social media content
- Printable promotional materials
- Donor-facing travel information
Everything is organized around the packages you selected for your event.
07
Promote
Promote your packages
With your materials in hand, begin promoting the selected travel packages to your donors. The stronger the presentation, the easier it is for donors to imagine the experience and understand the value of participating.
Use your materials in event displays, auction catalogs, email campaigns, social media posts, event websites, donor communications, or any other channel appropriate for your fundraiser. AmFundGo gives you the flexibility to promote in the way that best fits your event and audience.
08
Event Night
Use the packages at your fundraising event
At your event, the selected vacation packages become high-value fundraising opportunities for your donors. Feature them in the format that works best: silent auction, live auction, raffle, online auction, special appeal enhancement, or another approved event format.
You maintain control over the event experience while still benefiting from AmFund’s proven travel offerings and fundraising knowledge. And when questions come up, AmFund’s team is available to help clarify package details, donor-facing language, promotional strategy, or next steps.
09
After the Event
Wrap up and hand off to our travel team
After your fundraising event, your organization follows the AmFundGo post-event process. This may include reporting which packages were sold, providing necessary donor or purchaser information, completing payment or reconciliation steps, and helping the travel fulfillment process begin smoothly.
Once the event is complete, AmFund’s travel team supports the donor experience according to the terms of the selected package. This is one of AmFundGo’s most important strengths: the platform may be new, but the travel support behind it is built on the same experience that has made AmFund’s donor and traveler stewardship exceptional for more than 25 years.
