Travel + Leisure Co.
Travel + Leisure Charitable Foundation was established in June 2021 by Travel + Leisure Co. The Foundation encourages tomorrow’s leaders through mentorship, educational guidance, and leadership development. Led by a five-member Board of Directors, the Foundation enables dreams beyond vacations through its mission to make a difference in the communities where we vacation, work, and live. The foundation supports students through a post-secondary scholarship program and advances learning through an early childhood education program for eligible students.
By combining early education and post-secondary scholarships, the Foundation provides a pathway that supports learners from their first classroom experiences through college and career readiness. These programs are more than education; they represent opportunity, empowerment, and hope for the next generation.
- 26 students enrolled in Hawk Haven Preschool’s early childhood education program for 2025-26 school year
- 8 students successfully advanced to VPK for the 2025-26 school year
- 46 students have been awarded a scholarship since the Foundation’s inception
- $13,500 per student (annual investment for college journey)
