Will 100% of my donation go to the local partner I have chosen to support?

Yes, your entire donation will go directly to the specific partner you have chosen. Alternatively, you can give to the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation as a whole and we will distribute all of your donation to our trusted partners, where we feel it will have the most impact. Exodus covers all administration costs so 100% of your donation will go to our work on the ground.

Is The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation owned by Exodus Adventure Travels?

The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation is a completely separate entity to Exodus Adventure Travels and other financial supporters. The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation with a board of directors who determine strategy and monitor progress. The Foundation is registered with the UK Charity Commission (Charity number 1182265).

Do you take donations from countries outside of the UK?

We certainly do! We are based in the UK, but our donors come from all over the world. You can choose to donate in a range of currencies. However, donations are eligible for a tax deduction in the UK only.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Donations from the UK are eligible for tax deduction. As most of our partners are small, grassroots organisations that are not recognised as international charities, we can’t offer tax deductions on donations made from outside of the UK.

How are the donations managed?

The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation has a board consisting of senior staff at Exodus Adventure Travels and at least three Trustees from external organisations. The board ensures all beneficiary organisations and partners are assessed and monitored according to approved criteria. Our accounts are audited by an external, independent auditor and published annually in our annual impact report. Click here to read our latest report.

Can I leave a legacy to The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation?

The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation regularly shares updates about our partners and projects on our social media accounts and we send a quarterly newsletter providing a snapshot of our activities and their impact on local communities globally. Make sure to follow The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation and the social media accounts of the partner organisations you have donated to, in order see how your donations are supporting communities, conserving nature, and providing disaster relief around the world.

How does Exodus Adventure Travels support its Foundation?

For every customer who travels with either Exodus or Headwater, Exodus Adventure Travels pays £2.50 into the Foundation. The staff costs including administration, project management, accounts and marketing are all fully covered by Exodus which means that 100% of customer donations will go to the projects that the Foundation supports.
