ABOUT
Charter For Charity is the first Yacht Adventure Auction, organised quarterly in collaboration with the leading yacht brokerage houses in support of concrete missions of world-recognised Charity Organisations.
Every Auction presents unique experiential Lots, aiming to provide the bid-winner with an unrepeatable adventure on board well-reputed charter yachts, while supporting socially and environmentally responsible initiatives and resolving concrete issues around the world.
PHILANTHROPIC CAUSE
● Focused and clear philanthropic initiatives
● Collaboration only with well-reputed and world-recognised Charity Organisations
● Problem-solving long-term or short-term missions
● Transparent Terms & Conditions related to charity donations from the Auction
The Charity Donations from every Lot are given to a corresponding charity organisation to conduct concrete mission or project.
Charity categories:
● Environmental: Marine / Ocean / Animal preservation
● Social Change
● Healthcare
● Tech for Charity
100% CHARITY
100% of the raised funds for the experience at the Auction will go directly to finance concrete projects.
Since we treat Charity partner projects and operations sides of our business differently – separate purposes, separate fundraising goals, we guarantee transparency of our actions where the bid winner will donate directly to the Charity organization.
