Greenfield, MA (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- The NonProfit National Resource Directory is sponsoring the following final fall teleseminar:

Thursday, November 19, 2009, Noon (eastern): "3 Ways to More Fundraising Dollars: Risk-free Auction Prizes, Travel & Rewards" with Dave Proudfit of FundraisingCruises.org.

In addition to more traditional fundraising vehicles such as direct mail, phoneathons and face-to-face solicitations, there are several more recent fundraising concepts to consider that include auctions with expensive items donated and/or on consignment, and group travel and rewards that can be offered at a special event. Dave Proudfit has helped nonprofit organizations raise money without risk with specially designed travel packages, group cruises that qualify for donations from the cruise lines and incentives for raffles, walkathons, blood drives and other events.

Dave has over 30 years experience in the travel industry, and started Fundraisingcruises.org six years ago to help charities with their fundraising. He recently presented to the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) at their International conference in New Orleans.

To register for the November 19th teleseminar for just $10 per organization (up to five of your trustees or colleagues may participate for this fee), please go to http://bit.ly/40Hw4e.

Once you have registered you will receive the call-in information and materials prepared by the presenter. (Please register just one individual from your organization, although up to five may participate.)

FundraisingCruises.org customizes no-risk travel packages for fundraising events. Packages can include private jets, limousine service, personal chefs, cooking classes, wine tours, and other upscale amenities. They can provide a Free "Cruise Auction Fundraiser" web site for a nonprofit organization.

In addition, FundraisingCruises.org can put together group cruises of 16 to 1600 on any cruise line to any cruise destination. Although all of the cruise line programs are different, typically they will make a donation to an organization for each cabin sold. If you have at least 30 guests (15 cabins) they will provide a Free cabin you can raffle, auction, or use some other way to increase fundraising dollars. Finally they can offer cruises as an incentive for a raffle, a walk, run or other event. A cruise is often perceived as a much better "prize" than cash, gift certificates or almost any retail item. FundraisingCruises.org is the philanthropic arm of Milestonecruises.com and Cruises Inc.

FundraisingCruises.org serves nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada.
