We raise money so we can grant scholarships for trips to travelers with financial need. Travelers who need financial support can say that on the application; we can help you decide how much you would need based on what you can afford to pay toward a trip each month. We grant scholarships to first time recipients first, and if we have enough funding we may then be able to support travelers who have received a scholarship on a previous trip. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Our scholarship program relies on support from individual donors who understand the value of traveling with a supportive group and making new friends. Embark is a non-profit organization run with no paid staff and very few expenses, so we are currently able to dedicate 100% of all private donations directly to scholarships. If you are in a position to support Embark with a tax deductible donation, please consider doing so <a href="https://embarkinclusivetravel.org/donate">through our website</a>. We are also set up to receive donations through Facebook birthday fundraisers; please reach out if you would like help setting us as a recipient! <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you, and I hope to travel with many of you in 2025! <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cara Gorham Streit, EdD, MSW, LCSW<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Founding President & CEO, <a href="https://embarkinclusivetravel.org/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#1155CC'>Embark Inclusive Travel</span></a><span style='color:#222222'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Visit our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EmbarkInclusiveTravel/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#1155CC'>facebook page</span></a><span style='color:#222222'> for trip announcements!</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Support our scholarship program with a <a href="https://embarkinclusivetravel.org/donate" target="_blank">donation</a> or by purchasing a shirt!
