What is Travelers' Philanthropy?

All around the world, travelers and travel companies are donating resources to support everything from primary schools and scholarship funds to forest preserves, health clinics, and recycling plants.

This emerging movement is helping to support and empower local and indigenous communities by providing jobs, skills, and lasting improvements in health care, education, and environmental stewardship.

To provide a portal for travelers to make a difference at their destinations, we created Travelers’ Philanthropy, a quick and easy place to learn about and donate to development projects.

Travelers' Philanthropy is a project of the Center for Responsible Tourism.
