Destination grants fund historical, cultural and environmental preservation projects in locales where Tauck World Discovery currently operates. The emphasis is on projects designed to facilitate and enhance the continued appreciation of the resource for future generations. Whenever possible, we seek to expand the impact of our Destination Grants through employee volunteer efforts, guest participation, matching grants, and funding partners. Destination grants are generally in the $10,000 - $75,000 range.
