VISITOR DONATION PROGRAM

Connecting travelers with meaningful community projects

This program supports destinations, attractions, and businesses to establish clear, trustworthy pathways for visitors to donate to local conservation and community projects. 

 

When travelers feel a connection to a place, they’re often eager to give back - not just through spending, but by supporting causes that matter locally. The Visitor Donation Program helps build that bridge. By establishing transparent and credible frameworks for giving, visitors can confidently contribute to local projects - fostering lasting relationships between travelers and the places they visit.

Deeper Connections. Local Giving. Lasting Impacts.

How It Works

  • ​Identify Local Initiatives. Our team works with you to understand the local projects you wish to support and how visitors may be able to support them (also see our Regenerative Tourism Program on how to get visitors actively involved in projects). 

  • Build a Transparent Framework. We work with you to establish the framework for managing and promoting the program. 

  • Craft an Engaging Story. We develop engaging communication materials for the projects you want to support that will inspire visitor donations. 

  • Engage Local Partners. Our team helps you identify & engage with local partners who can also support the initiative.

  • Track & Share the Impacts. We establish a system for tracking, evaluating, and sharing the program’s impact - demonstrating results to stakeholders and reinforcing the value of each contribution.

The Result

A customized and community-rooted visitor donation program, empowering travelers to support local initiatives in the places they love - your places.
