Carnival Cruise Lines and BestCruiseBuy would like to help raise money for your churches, schools or non-profit organization & will provide a “contribution” using a cruise as a fundraiser.

Think of the great benefits

• Your organization raises needed funds with a unique and exciting event.
• Participants enjoy a vacation and feel great about supporting a worthwhile cause
• Press releases & advertising of your fund raising cruise can bring more community recognition to your organization
• 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

Carnival will match funds raised by the non-profit organization up to $10 per day per stateroom.  The “contribution” check, based on the actual number of staterooms that sail, will be made payable to the non-profit organization and will be mailed to the travel agency handling your cruise after the sailing.  Substantiation of the donations raised by the organization through the cruise promotion must be submitted at the time of final payment.

The organization may choose to raise funds by marking up the group rate and/or by taking the value of the free berths earned as their contribution. Here are some examples:

1. Group marks up price by $35 per person/ $70 per cabin on a 7 day cruise: Group sells 100 cabins
   100  cabins x $70 = $7,000
   Carnival will match up to $70 per cabin for charity
   100 cabins x  $70 = $7,000
   Group auctions an earned free cabin at fundraising event & it sells for $2,000
                                    TOTAL FUNDS RAISED = $16,000
2. Group marks up price by $30 perperson/$60 per cabin on a 4 day cruise: Group sells 100 cabins
   100 cabins x $60 = $6,000
   Carnival will match up to $40 per cabin for charity
   100 cabins x $40 = $4,000   
                                    TOTAL FUNDS RAISED = $10,000
3. Group marks up price by $25 per person/$50 per cabin on a 5 day cruise: Group sells 75 cabins
   75  cabins x $50  = $3,750
   Carnival will match up to $50 per cabin for charity
   75 cabins x $50 = $3,750                  
            Group sells 200 raffle tickets for earned free cabin @ $5 each for additional $1,000
                                   TOTAL FUND RAISING = $8,500
