Elevate Destinations, the travel philanthropy company that combines exclusive travel with directed giving to host countries, is planning the launch of a pioneer program--TRAVEL MATTERS--which will permit departing and returning travelers to make online donations to charities and non-profit organizations in the countries they visit.

Travelers visiting www.elevatedestinations.com will be able to review a selection of screened non-profits in the following areas: wildlife, environment, community development, youth, education as well as a general fund, and make a secure donation which will benefit people, land and wildlife in their country of choice.

"It is my hope that more and more travelers will treat travel as an opportunity to contribute to the countries they visit. Travel dollars can have a major impact when directed to groups working to protect resources and improve human life," states Elevate Destinations founder, Dominique Callimanopulos.

Non-profit organizations worldwide are invited to apply to become beneficiaries of TRAVEL MATTERS. Applications can be downloaded at:

Organizations will be reviewed by Elevate staff and Advisors.

Online donations have revolutionized philanthropy in recent years, providing a new source of revenue for many non-profits . The TRAVEL MATTERS program will make it possible for many additional worthy groups worldwide to benefit from this trend.
