TREK TOGETHER FUND

We understand that various barriers can make it challenging to participate in our trips. The Trek Together Fund is here to help. If you have the passion and determination to trek with us but feel a strong lack of accessibility, we invite you to apply for assistance through our fund.

Thanks to generous donors, you may receive financial support to travel with purpose.

Through the power of paying it forward, some of our big-hearted donors have graciously gifted the experience of a lifetime to a wonderful individual like you.

Apply now to receive support towards covering your trip cost, and discover the transformative power of travel with Trek Relief.
