Mission First Fundraising, a provider of travel and experience packages for nonprofit fundraising events, has announced the expansion of its sports experience offerings. The new packages aim to provide donors with unique, one-of-a-kind access to major sporting events that are not otherwise available to the general public, addressing a common challenge faced by nonprofits in motivating donors to bid or contribute.
According to the organization, many nonprofits struggle to secure sports experiences that are truly exclusive. Standard offerings such as two tickets to a game often fail to inspire donors who could purchase similar access independently. Mission First Fundraising has leveraged key industry partnerships to develop packaged offerings that bring donors closer to the action, from pit access at the Indianapolis 500 to behind-the-plate seats at iconic baseball venues like Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field.
The newly highlighted sports packages include the "In the Pits Experience" at the Indy 500, which offers garage and pit access, meet-and-greet opportunities with drivers and crew, start/finish line seats, and all-inclusive food and beverage. The "Behind the Plate Experience" provides seats behind home plate at stadiums such as Dodger Stadium and Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, with first-class service and amenities.
For the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, Mission First Fundraising offers access to tickets for qualifying rounds across all venues, along with hotel stays and other amenities. Other packages include the "Sunday at the Masters" golf experience, Super Bowl access, and the "Ultimate Sports Experience," which provides lower-level seats to any professional or college regular-season game nationwide, including dinner and hotel accommodations.
Mission First Fundraising also offers packages for the Kentucky Derby, the Final Four, the US Open Tennis Championships, and the Daytona 500, among others. The organization states that over 10,000 nonprofits have utilized its experiences to enhance fundraising success, often doubling their return on investment.
Mission First Fundraising, based in Rockford, Illinois, has helped raise over $200 million for charities and events globally. Its packages are designed to maximize return on investment and ensure a high level of customer service. For more information, visit their website at www.missionfirstfundraising.org.
