Foundations & Donor-Funded Programmes
Foundations sit between donors, grantees and board — and travel touches all three. The bar is high on hospitality, hospitality has to be cost-defensible, and every traveller's spend has to roll up cleanly to the board pack.
Where the pressure actually sits.
Generic travel programmes treat every traveller the same. Foundations teams have specific pressure points — and the programme has to be designed around them.
- Board and trustee travel with discretion and protocol expectations
- Grantee convenings combining travel from multiple countries on different terms
- Donor-accountable reporting at programme and grantee level
- Hospitality logistics that have to feel generous and stay defensible
