Helping Public High Schools  in Underserved Communities

Students at the Urban Assembly School for Applied Math & Science

Public schools today face increasing financial and performance pressures. As a result, administrators often have to reallocate funds in favor of meeting stringent academic standards, leaving less money available for cultural enrichment programs and events such as off-campus field trips.

Our Mission

The Trip Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, was created to help public high schools in underserved communities continue to provide educational field trips within the U.S. and abroad. Our mission is to alleviate the financial burden of conducting such excursions so that students can expand their intellectual and cultural horizons and experience a world beyond their own. From Wall Street to the Great Wall of China, Times Square to Trafalgar Square, every child deserves to experience what so many of us take for granted. Along the way, students discover what it truly means to become a global citizen.

Help our young leaders of tomorrow start building bridges today.

Amazing Trips, Better Grades

Studies show school trips actually contribute to improved student outcomes. According to Science Daily, research conducted by BYU, Johns Hopkins, and the Heritage Foundation and published in the Journal for Human Resources, “students who participate in multiple field trips during the school year have higher test scores, perform better in class and have increased cultural conscientiousness over time.”
