The Intrepid Foundation was born more than 20 years ago to empower Intrepid travellers to give back to the communities they visit and make a real impact in the places they go. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrepid\u2019s non-profit continues to provide more ways for travellers to do just that, welcoming more impact partners across more focus areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus this year, Intrepid is kicking it up a notch with the return of matched giving \u2013 something that was halted in the wake of the pandemic\u2019s global tourism standstill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrepid are essentially doubling the impact, helping you make an even greater difference.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Matched giving means exactly that: Intrepid will match every traveller\u2019s post-trip donation to The Intrepid Foundation and any recurring monthly donations throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Matched giving makes a huge difference to how far your donations go,’ says Biheng Zhang, General Manager of The Intrepid Foundation. ‘Intrepid are essentially doubling the impact, helping you make an even greater difference.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, Intrepid continues to cover all of the admin costs so that 100% of donations go directly to the foundation’s impact partners on the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who benefits from donations to The Intrepid Foundation?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Intrepid Foundation works with more than 45 impact partners around the world. Each partner is actively working to tackle at least one of the foundation’s freshly defined focus areas: protecting the environment, taking a stand for wildlife, addressing inequality and empowering communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrepid travellers visit thousands of destinations so it\u2019s important for us to be able to create more connections and more opportunity in those places…<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As Biheng puts it, ‘We\u2019re continually expanding our breadth of impact and partnering with organisations in all corners of the world in order to power change on a global scale.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Intrepid travellers visit thousands of destinations so it’s important for us to be able to create more connections and more opportunity in those places so that travellers can give back to the local communities that they\u2019re visiting,’ she continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping to break the poverty cycle in Cambodia<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
