Funding Terms

  • The maximum support amount that can be requested is the specified trip contribution cost. We do not cover transportation to or from the trip location.

    • The final award amount is determined by the Trek Together Fund committee and may differ from what is requested, depending on the current available funds and the number of applicants.

    • Please note that higher requested amounts are likely not to be fully funded, though they may be partially awarded.

  • The final selection of recipients for a specified trip will be made before the final contribution deadline for that trip.

    • Applicants will be contacted as soon as possible with a response, whether to approve or deny funds; expect to wait at least 1-2 weeks.

  • Funds are non-transferable.

  • Cancelations:

    • If the recipient is unable to attend the specified trip and the trip is not canceled, the award is to be forfeited and return to the fund for other candidates.

      • If the recipient wants to attend a future trip, they will need to create a new application and be subject to the committee’s current circumstances at the time.

    • In the event that the trip is canceled by Trek Relief, the allocated value can be used on any of our trips until the end of the following calendar year.
