At Philantopia, we love working with nonprofit organizations to make their virtual events successful. Our travel packages are popular auction items for fundraisers because they are no risk — if they don’t sell at your auction, you don’t owe us anything. However, most packages will sell, particularly our popular domestic options. While travel has undeniably been affected by the pandemic, many people are still looking for adventure stateside. We are happy to offer a variety of travel packages that can be enjoyed safely. 

One destination that has always been popular with US travelers is New Orleans. With delicious food, a vibrant nightlife, and a rich history, the Big Easy is the perfect weekend getaway. If you’re looking for a travel package to add to your online auction, consider one of our New Orleans packages.
