It’s likely that many of your current supporters will take a vacation at some point during the year. By choosing to do so together, as a group, a portion of their cruise fare would be donated back to your organization and then Carnival Cruise Lines and Cruise Planners Travel will provide a “matching contribution”

· Press releases & advertising of your fund raising cruise can bring more community
recognition to the organization and Charity. Friends & family tend to vacation together
so you gain access to potential new contributors who have disposable income and
can assist you with future events
· You’ll have a captive audience to discuss your organizations initiatives with in the
relaxed setting of a vacation
· Create an annual event – promotes fellowship and loyalty among participants
Carnival will match funds raised by the non-profit organization from $30 per stateroom up to $160 per stateroom depending upon the duration of the cruise selected and availability. The “contribution”
The organization may choose to raise funds by marking up the group rate or by taking the value of the free berths earned as their contribution. Here are some examples:
1. Group marks up group price by $100 per cabin on a 7 day cruise: Group sells 50
cabins
50 cabins x $100 = $5000 Carnival will match UP TO $70 maximum per cabin on a 7
day cruise. So Carnival pays charity $70 x 50 cabins = $3500
TOTAL FUND RAISING = $8500.00
2. Group marks up group price by $100 per cabin on a 4 day cruise: Group sells 25
cabins 25 cabins x $100 = $2500 Carnival will match UP TO $40 per cabin. So
Carnival pays charity $40 x 25 = $1000
TOTAL FUND RAISING = $3500
3. With 100 paid guests (50 cabins) on a 7-day cruise, group earns six FREE berths
(based on one free bed for every 15 full fare paid) Lets say the value of these three
frees totals $4000 (a made up number!) You can add that amount to the funds raised
in example #1 and your fundraising now equals:
TOTAL FUND RAISING = $12500.00
4. One more way to raise funds would be to take two earned frees (one cabin) and hold
a raffle for a free cruise to be taken with the group. Participants would be encouraged
to book their cabin and their deposit would be refunded if they win the raffle.
Your earnings potential is unlimited based on the number of participants. Fundraising made simple and Fun with Carnival Cruise Lines!
