After months of hard work and dedication, we’re thrilled to announce that Trek Relief is officially a 501(c)(3) federally-recognized charitable nonprofit!

The journey to this milestone wasn’t easy. It took:

• 8 months of revisions to fine-tune our application.

• 5 months of waiting for approval.

• Launching 3 brand-new projects during the process.

But now, with the determination letter in hand, we’re ready to supercharge our efforts and make an even greater impact for the causes we care deeply about.

Becoming a 501(c)(3) means we can:

• Amplify Our Fundraising: Donations to Trek Relief are now tax-deductible for U.S. donors.

• Expand Our Reach: We can access more corporate matching programs, grant opportunities, and large-scale fundraising initiatives.

• Strengthen Our Mission: With this designation, we’re better positioned to support meaningful projects and empower communities worldwide.
