Our Mission
We support tourism-focused economic development projects in local communities around the world.
Partnerships in the Travel Industry
We offer services for travel companies who wish to support development projects in their destinations:
Fiscal Partnership - We provide a non-profit, tax-deductible fundraising platform for your donors and distribute the funds to the organization in the destination responsible for the project.
Project Management - We help you vet, oversee, and report on projects that you’d like to support, but don’t have the resources or skill set in your organization.
Annual Sponsorship - Industry partners can make an annual contribution to Crooked Trails to support our programs and share your work with our community.
Does your organization have a tourism-focused community-based project that you’d like to support in one of your destinations?
Project Sponsorships
We take project applications from communities and travel industry partners and support fundraising and oversight of those projects.
We raise funds through donor outreach, grants, and industry partners to support projects from communities and organizations around the globe that have identified a way to use tourism to create economic stability. Recent projects include porter training in Nepal, wildlife conservation in Guyana, and building a trekking lodge in Ladakh, India.
About Us
For over 20 years, we have supported and managed community-based projects across the globe, raising millions of dollars through our platform.
Crooked Trails provides credibility and accountability to reassure donors that they are supporting valid causes. We use an extensive vetting tool to assess project for transparency and soundness, and we work directly with community partners to ensure their project is set up for success.
Industry Sponsors
Thank you to our sponsors for generously funding our mission.
