Gift of Travel Foundation is the charitable arm of Gift of Travel.
We are committed to giving back 10% of Gift of Travel profit to our foundation.
The foundation contributes to several organizations we are passionate about, including:
- Fresh water wells and community support projects in Cambodia through Shinta Mani's community giving program,
- The Special Olympics,
- Microloan Programs, and
- Flyers Carbon credits (to offset emissions from our travelers), to name a few.
Our goal is to substantially support several programs and services on both a national and international level. Gift of Travel Foundation has also been established to provide travelers access to a philanthropic tool, regardless of where you live.
If you have a program you would like us to consider, please let us know.
