Cruising for Causes was created with the mission to provide 501(c)(3) nonprofits with a unique and impactful way to raise funds through group travel. With a focus on integrity and transparency, we partner with charitable organizations across the country to plan fundraising cruises that generate support, build community, and spotlight important causes.

In addition to organizing these meaningful travel experiences, Cruising for Causes is dedicated to training cruise travel agents who want to specialize in nonprofit and group travel. Our future goals include expanding educational programs, offering certification for fundraising cruise planners, and reinvesting proceeds into community initiatives and travel scholarships, creating lasting impact far beyond the cruise itself.

To support our mission of transforming travel into a tool for social impact, Cruising for Causes is deeply committed to community engagement as a core focus of our work. Our goal is to bring people together through purpose-driven cruises that not only raise funds but also strengthen connections among individuals, organizations, and the causes they care about. We aim to empower local communities by partnering with nonprofits across the country, offering them access to fundraising opportunities that promote collaboration, visibility, and shared purpose.

Additionally, we are building a national network of trained cruise travel agents who specialize in nonprofit and group travel, helping expand access to these opportunities in under served areas. By reinvesting a portion of our proceeds into community programs, travel scholarships, and grassroots initiatives, we ensure that each voyage fosters deeper engagement, broader awareness, and lasting impact within the communities we serve.

The Cruising for Causes Scholarship Fundraising Program is designed to create life-changing opportunities for at-risk students by providing financial support for higher education. Through specially planned fundraising cruises, a portion of the proceeds is dedicated to building a scholarship fund that helps students overcome financial barriers to college access. This initiative also serves to raise awareness of the importance of education and the impact it can have on transforming lives.

Recipients of the Cruising for Causes scholarships will have the option to attend any accredited 2 - 4-year community college or university, with an emphasis on Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs) of their choice. By combining the joy of travel with a meaningful mission, this program not only supports educational dreams but also empowers communities through the advancement of future leaders. It also provides a lasting legacy of support for students who may not otherwise have access to higher education.
