Using a tour to Paris, Italy, South America or just about anywhere you want to go is a great way to raise funds for an organization. It really is quite simple and effective and an easy way for donors to give.
As part of the planning process, the organization decides how much of the proceeds from the tour will go towards their organization.
Fundraising tours are extremely effective in getting people involved in an organization. Long after the tour is over, travelers stay closely connected to that group.
Usually these tours are private tours. The organizations sets the date, time and itinerary while consulting with The Traveling Professor. There is always a contact with the organization who recruits travelers. I usually take care of everything else from answering questions to all of the hotel, ticketing, guiding, restaurants, travel, etc. There may also be some extra services added in. For example, on a fund-raising tour to Paris, we might add in classical music performances for an orchestral group. On a fundraising tour to Florence and Italy, we might emphasize more art museums for a cultural society. On a tour to Bolivia I am arranging for a church group to visit their missions, I am planning a side tour to Machu Picchu.
