Travel on Purpose™ is a for-profit company with a goal to change the way we travel. We organize trips and services for an income. However, we turn right around and give that money back to our nonprofit partners. We work with well-vetted organizations located throughout the world who represent many areas of philanthropy. 100% of our profit is donated.
Travel on Purpose™ incorporates
the following core values into every trip we plan.
PEOPLE
We love people and the opportunity to connect with them and learn from them. Locals are the experts. We believe travel dollars should stay in communities, supporting small businesses that bring opportunity and dignity.
CONNECTION
We are made for relationship. TOP trips will provide opportunities to meet locals and learn their stories, their history and their culture. This is the very best way to travel. Cooking classes and cultural walking tours are some of our favorites.
EDUCATION
Travel is the best teacher. This education reminds us that there are a million ways to cook, dress, worship, and speak. As we learn, we grow in character and understanding.
TRAVEL
As if we were a guest in someone's home, we enter foreign countries ready to respect and value their way of doing things. Travel is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in new opportunities and celebrate diversity that is found throughout the nations.
GENEROSITY
We vet organizations and find ways for TOP travelers to get involved. We have the privilege of sharing out of our abundance and want to be a blessing to the organizations and people we spend time with. Generosity might mean helping to fund a special project or becoming a monthly donor. Generosity might include sharing our skills or expertise or becoming an ambassador as we learn about the good work being done.
STEWARDSHIP
Travel inspires awe of God’s beautiful creation. As stewards, we believe that making choices that care for the environment ultimately honors God.
These are just some of the organizations we'd love to introduce you to. Each one is meeting tangible needs in their community and uplifting others to live hope-filled, purpose-filled lives.
