Start with the people
Clarify the group's interests, ages, individual budgets, preferred pace, accessibility needs and non-negotiables. Good travel planning starts with listening rather than selecting the most expensive package.
CURATED TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

School and Alumni Fundraising Travel
Consider reunion travel that connects graduates, supporters and an educational mission.
Fundraising disclosure: This is an educational planning guide, not an approved charitable campaign or offer of a charitable donation. No beneficiary, amount raised, charitable tax deduction, commission, group discount or supplier partnership is promised. A nonprofit must authorize any campaign, and applicable fundraising, consumer-protection and travel laws must be reviewed before promotion or payment collection.
