All sweepstakes campaigns on the Give & Go platform are operated by Give & Go on behalf of participating 501(c)(3) nonprofit beneficiary organizations. These rules apply to every active campaign.
All sweepstakes campaigns published on the Give & Go platform (giveandgo.com) are operated and sponsored exclusively by Give & Go (the "Operator," "Sponsor," "we," "us," or "our"), a company organized and operating under the laws of the United States of America.
The participating 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization named on each campaign page (the "Beneficiary Organization") is the designated recipient of the fundraising proceeds generated by that campaign. The Beneficiary Organization is not the operator, sponsor, or administrator of the sweepstakes and bears no legal responsibility for sweepstakes administration, prize fulfillment, or compliance with applicable sweepstakes laws.
Give & Go specializes in serving IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, and also welcomes all other qualifying fundraising causes including booster clubs, community groups, athlete-sponsoring organizations, pre-501(c)(3) organizations, and other nonprofit causes that do not yet hold formal 501(c)(3) status. The specific type of Beneficiary Organization is identified on each campaign page.
Give & Go campaigns are structured and operated as sweepstakes — not as lotteries, raffles, or games of chance requiring consideration. Under US federal and state law, the three elements that classify a promotion as an illegal lottery are: (1) a prize, (2) chance, and (3) consideration (payment). By providing a genuine, equally accessible no-purchase-necessary alternative method of entry, Give & Go eliminates the consideration element, and all campaigns are therefore lawfully classified as sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes structure described in these Official Rules — including the no-purchase-necessary mail-in entry option described in Section 3 — is specifically designed and maintained to ensure full compliance with federal and applicable state sweepstakes laws. Give & Go works with qualified sweepstakes legal counsel to maintain this compliance on an ongoing basis.
Sweepstakes campaigns on the Give & Go platform are open to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in their state of residence, at the time of entry. Void in Alaska, Hawaii, and all other states and jurisdictions where prohibited by law.
The following individuals are not eligible to enter or win any Give & Go sweepstakes:
Give & Go reserves the right to verify the eligibility of any entrant or potential winner at any time and to disqualify any individual who does not satisfy these requirements or who has tampered with the entry process.
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF MONEY IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR ODDS OF WINNING.
There are two methods of entry for each Give & Go sweepstakes campaign:
Method 1 — Purchase Entry (Online)
During the campaign period, visit the active campaign page at giveandgo.com and purchase one or more entries at the posted per-entry price using the secure checkout. Each entry purchased equals one (1) entry in the campaign drawing pool. Multiple entries may be purchased in a single transaction. Entry fees are non-refundable except as required by law.
Method 2 — Free Mail-In Entry
To enter without purchase, hand-print — in legible block letters — your full legal name, complete mailing address, email address, phone number, date of birth, and the specific campaign name on a plain 3" × 5" card or piece of paper. Insert the completed card into a standard #10 business-sized envelope with first-class postage affixed and mail to:
Mail-in entries must be postmarked no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the campaign close date and received within five (5) calendar days of the campaign close date. One (1) free entry per person per campaign per outer mailing envelope. Each valid mail-in entry equals one (1) entry in the campaign drawing pool — the same as one purchased entry.
Entry Limits: Regardless of entry method, no single individual may hold more than fifty (50) total entries in any single campaign. All entries — whether purchased or submitted by mail — are equal in the drawing pool, with each entry representing one equal chance of selection per draw.
Each Give & Go campaign has a designated start date and end date displayed on the campaign page. All purchased entries must be completed and payment confirmed before 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the campaign close date. All mail-in entries must be postmarked no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the campaign close date and received within five (5) calendar days of the campaign close date.
Give & Go reserves the right to extend a campaign's close date if the minimum entry threshold described in Section 11 has not been met. Give & Go will announce any extension on the campaign page and via email notification to existing entrants.
Each campaign specifies one of the following prize tiers. Approximate Retail Values (ARV) are based on permanent peak season pricing and are fixed for the life of the campaign regardless of when the winner travels or which property they select.
🥇 Gold Tier Prize (ARV: approximately $10,000) + $750 Tax Assistance Cash Gift
One (1) Deluxe Resort View Suite for two (2) adults and two (2) children, seven (7) days six (6) nights, all-inclusive, at one eligible Palace Resorts property of the winner's choosing.

💎 Diamond Tier Prize (ARV: approximately $25,000) + $2,500 Tax Assistance Cash Gift
One (1) Grand Presidential Suite for up to six (6) guests (any combination of adults and children), seven (7) days six (6) nights, all-inclusive, at one eligible Palace Resorts property of the winner's choosing. Winner also receives a $2,500 cash tax assistance gift from Give & Go, paid separately at time of prize fulfillment. Minimum 250 entries, maximum 300 entries.
What the prize includes: All meals at resort restaurants, unlimited beverages including premium open bar, 24-hour room service, resort pools and beach access, water park, fitness facilities, nightly entertainment, and all standard all-inclusive amenities as defined by the selected Palace Resorts property.
What the prize does not include: Round-trip transportation or airfare to and from the resort, travel insurance, personal expenses, spa treatment upgrades, golf green fees, off-property excursions, or any other expense not expressly included in the all-inclusive package. No cash equivalent or substitution is permitted except at Give & Go's sole discretion.
One (1) winner per campaign will be selected by randomized drawing from all eligible entries received during the campaign period. The drawing will be conducted by Give & Go or its designated sweepstakes administrator on or within seven (7) days following the campaign close date.
Each entry in the drawing pool — whether purchased or submitted by mail — represents one (1) equal and independent chance of being selected. An entrant holding multiple entries will have their identifier represented once for each valid entry held.
The complete entry list, including entrant names, number of entries held, and entry method, will be published on the campaign page no fewer than 48 hours prior to the scheduled drawing. The entry ledger is locked at campaign close and no entries may be added, removed, or altered thereafter.
The drawing will be conducted using a verified random selection process. Give & Go reserves the right to use a digital randomization tool, spinning wheel display, or other auditable random method. Live drawings will be broadcast and recorded, with the recording made available on the campaign page following the event.
The selected potential winner will be notified by Give & Go via the email address and/or phone number provided at the time of entry within forty-eight (48) hours of the drawing. Give & Go will make three (3) contact attempts over five (5) business days.
The potential winner may be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and where permitted by law, a Publicity Release, within ten (10) business days of notification. Failure to respond, failure to return completed documentation, failure to comply with these rules, or return of any prize notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.
Give & Go will never notify winners through social media platforms. All winner communication is conducted exclusively via direct email and phone contact using the information provided at entry. See the Scam Warning above for details.
Upon verification of eligibility and return of all required documentation, the confirmed winner will be granted access to the Give & Go Winner Portal. Through the portal, the winner must select their preferred Palace Resorts property and desired travel dates within thirty (30) days of receiving winner portal access.
Travel must be completed within twelve (12) months of the campaign close date. Blackout dates are displayed within the Winner Portal and include major holidays, peak periods designated by Palace Resorts, and dates with no confirmed availability. Give & Go will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the winner's preferred dates subject to resort availability.
Give & Go will send reminder notifications at day 20 and day 28 of the 30-day selection window. If the winner fails to select dates within the 30-day window, the prize will be deemed forfeited. No cash or alternative prize will be offered for a forfeited prize. Give & Go reserves the right to award a forfeited prize to an alternate winner or to return the prize to inventory at its sole discretion.
All prize bookings are processed directly by Give & Go. The winner does not pay any amount to claim or redeem the prize. Any person requesting payment to release a prize is engaged in fraudulent activity and should be reported to Give & Go immediately.
Give & Go specializes in serving IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Give & Go also welcomes the following types of qualifying organizations as campaign beneficiaries:
The Beneficiary Organization receives a portion of the net campaign revenue as described in Section 10. This payment is a fundraising distribution from Give & Go to the Beneficiary Organization — it is not a charitable contribution made by entrants. Entry fees paid to Give & Go are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions regardless of the Beneficiary Organization's tax-exempt status.
The Beneficiary Organization does not operate, administer, or bear legal responsibility for the sweepstakes. All sweepstakes operations, prize fulfillment, winner selection, and regulatory compliance are the sole responsibility of Give & Go.
Following the conclusion of each campaign and after deduction of the published prize retail value, Give & Go distributes net revenue as follows:
"Net revenue" is defined as total entry fee revenue collected during the campaign period, minus the prize retail value as published on the campaign page at time of launch. The Beneficiary Organization receives a detailed payout summary within five (5) business days of the campaign close date.
| Tier | Ticket Price | Prize Deducted | Give & Go Fee | Tickets to Cover Fee | Org Earns from Ticket 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥇 Gold | $100 | $10,000 | $3,750 | 138 tickets | $75 per ticket (75%) |
| 💫 Platinum | $200 | $15,000 | $8,750 | 119 tickets | $150 per ticket (75%) |
| 💎 Diamond | $250 | $25,000 | $9,375 | 150 tickets | $187.50 per ticket (75%) |
Each campaign tier has a minimum number of entries required before a drawing may be conducted:
Give & Go will send automated reminder emails to the Beneficiary Organization at campaign day 30, day 45, day 55, and day 60, providing current ticket count, funds raised, and promotional guidance to help reach minimum thresholds. Give & Go's campaign support team is available to assist any organization that is struggling to reach its minimum within the standard period.
This sweepstakes is void in the following states and jurisdictions and wherever else prohibited or restricted by applicable law:
Give & Go makes no representation that participation in this sweepstakes is appropriate or lawful in all locations. Entrants are responsible for determining whether their participation complies with the laws of their jurisdiction. Give & Go reserves the right to restrict entry from any state or jurisdiction at any time.
Florida and Rhode Island residents: Sweepstakes with prize values exceeding $5,000 may be subject to registration and bonding requirements under Florida Statutes and Rhode Island law. Give & Go complies with all applicable registration requirements before accepting entries from residents of those states.
All federal, state, and local taxes on prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner. The IRS treats sweepstakes prizes as ordinary income — the Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of the prize is added to the winner's gross income for the tax year in which the prize is received. Winners may be required to provide a valid Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number for tax reporting purposes prior to prize fulfillment.
Give & Go will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC to winners of prizes with an Approximate Retail Value of $600 or more, as required by applicable federal law. All three Give & Go prize tiers exceed this threshold. Winners are responsible for reporting prize income on their federal and applicable state income tax returns.
Winners agree to comply with all applicable tax laws in connection with receipt of the prize. Give & Go is not responsible for any federal, state, or local tax liability incurred by the winner. Give & Go strongly encourages all winners to consult a qualified tax professional prior to accepting the prize.
| Tier | Published Peak ARV | Off-Peak Adjustment (−50%) | F&B Allocation (−50%) | Taxable Lodging ARV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥇 Gold | $10,000 | $5,000 | $2,500 | ~$2,500 |
| 💫 Platinum | $15,000 | $7,500 | $3,750 | ~$3,750 |

The estimated federal tax tables below are provided for illustrative guidance only, are not tax advice, and are based on Give & Go's documented taxable ARV methodology described above. Actual tax liability will depend on the winner's total income, filing status, deductions, state of residence, and individual circumstances. State income taxes vary and are the winner's sole responsibility.
