Got Questions?
FAQs
Fundraising
Are there any fees on donations?
A 3% processing fee applies to donations made by credit card. This fee is added to the donation amount, ensuring that 100% of your donation goes directly toward the student’s trip. For example, a $100 donation would result in a total charge of $103, with the full $100 credited to the student’s trip account.
Where do I find my student’s donation link?
Log in to your EasyTrack account, select Trip Finances in the menu bar, then click Manage my donations page. From there you can add a photo and a personal message and copy the link to share.
Who can contribute?
Anyone you share the link with, including family, friends and other supporters, can contribute online in minutes.
How is Adventure Forward different from the donation pages?
Personal Donation Pages and fundraising and scholarship management are tools built into Student Adventures’ EasyTrack and TripWheel technology. Adventure Forward is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that partners with schools and donors to help students who could not otherwise afford to travel.
