Taking Students to a
Whole New World™
Providing New York metro area public high schools in need with funding for domestic and international field trips.
A Non-Profit Organization for School Trip Funding
When budgets get cut, field trips are often the first to go. The Trip Foundation helps bridge the gap, providing funds for public high schools in underserved areas so all students can have an opportunity to explore a world so many of us take for granted. It is within that spirit that our organization was founded. We focus on three key service areas:
- U Can! | College Tours: This initiative is designed to expose high school students to college life and the expectations that come with it. Your generous donation will help them prepare and turn dreams of higher education into reality.
- E-Squared: We fund educational excursions and support experiential learning across a wide variety of disciplines, including STEAM and the humanities. Community service trips are also funded.
- All Abroad: We believe students are citizens of the world and should have every opportunity to explore every corner of it. Students at the South Bronx Academy for Applied Media did just that--traveling to Seoul, South Korea as part of the school's Korean language program. The Trip Foundation provided more than 78% of the funds for supplies. It was a life-changing expedition for all parties involved. More recently, we covered the entire cost of equipment and supplies for the East Side Community High School's upcoming excursion to South Africa.
With your support, we can redefine the trajectory of young lives and create a world where education opens doors to endless opportunities. The journey starts here; let's make it accessible for everyone.
Please support our spring campaign and help us meet and surpass our $5,000 goal.

Testimonials
Traveling had its challenges, but I overcame many of them and got pushed out of my comfort zone..
This trip will affect my future life because it was an opportunity of a lifetime. It helped me learn a new culture and this will benefit me for the rest of my life. I will never forget this, and even here in the US, I can practice the things I learned, like to be respectful and the importance of meeting new people. This experience is going to be influential for everyone that got to be a part of the South Korean excursion.
I am very thankful for my experience in a country 7000 miles away and for learning new things. Before I conclude, I especially want to thank the Korean community and contributors for giving me this special opportunity.

One unexpected encounter was seeing traditional tea setups in South Korea. I was captivated by the precision and grace of the movements we had to copy to drink the tea in the proper way in Korea, which made me feel grateful for the beauty in it. This experience taught me to slow down and indulge in this. It brightened my perspective on mindfulness and the significance of small things they do over in Korea that have meaningful impacts.
Overall, my trip to South Korea was an unforgettable adventure that exposed me to new cultures and challenged my beliefs. It was a journey of growth that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
