Have your say on who gets $50k
The Intrepid Foundation proudly supports more than 55 local partners around the world. Each year, we bring together donations made by you - our travellers - to fund the Impact Grand program, which funds projects that're creating lasting change in the places we travel.
And we want you to help us choose who wins. We've shortlisted three inspiring community projects and your vote will decide which one receives AUD 50,000.
The partners and their projects
Galapagos Conservancy
Equador
On Isla Espanola, the native waved albatross needs open ground to land and take off – something giant tortoises once made happen by grazing and trampling vegetation. Our partner Galapagos Conservancy wants to reintroduce the tortoise population, reducing manual human interference with the fragile ecosystem and restoring an entire natural habitat.
Ezwitti
Jordan
Ezwitti began a movement in Amman, where home cooks and volunteers came together to feed vulnerable families with dignity. Now, they're seeking to expand to a community in Irbid, using funds to build a new hub that provides nutritious meals, reduces food waste and creates income for diverse households. Their mission works towards scaling food support and women-led social enterprise to local communities.
Cambodia Rural Students Trust
Cambodia
For thousands of students in rural Cambodia, a bicycle gifts them access to education. That’s why something as simple as a flat tyre or loose part can create more than just a bump in the road. Project B is about creating permanent, accessible repair facilities that keep students on the road to education, while training them in practical life skills and supporting sustainable transportation in the community.
