What is Travelers' Philanthropy?
All over the world, a new source of international development aid called Travelers' Philanthropy is evolving. Civic-minded travelers and travel businesses are giving financial resources, time, and talent to further the well being of the host communities that they visit in their travels. This emerging voluntary movement is helping to support and empower local and indigenous communities by providing jobs, skills, business and home ownership, and lasting improvements in health care, education, and environmental stewardship. In order to provide a portal for travelers to make a difference at their destinations, we created Travelers’ Philanthropy, a quick and easy way to learn about and donate to development projects at home and abroad.
Travelers' Philanthropy is a project of the Center on Ecotourism and Sustainable Development.
