The Foundation

OUR STORY
As IGLTA prepares for its 30th anniversary, we reflect on our growth as an organization of 25 founding members primarily from North America, to over 2,200+ members representing 83 countries. As an association we will continue to enhance and expand travel opportunities for the LGBT community globally. As a foundation, we will raise awareness for our industry by assisting students and destinations who need our support, and by showing the world that members of the LGBT community are true global citizens leading the way in sustainable tourism and improving the lives of people in the destinations we visit.

OUR MISSION
The IGLTA Foundation will strive to expand educational opportunities for students in LGBT travel and tourism, to assist emerging LGBT destinations and to positively influence the experiences of LGBT travelers and local communities through meaningful volunteer and donation projects.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Whether it is $5 or $5,000, your donation will help to improve the LGBT travel industry and worthy projects globally. All donations from US Citizens are tax deductible as set by the laws of the United States.
