Who manages the Foundation?
The Foundation has been established as an independent entity,
legally and financially independent from any of the supporting
companies. It is managed by Members of the Board who follow the
Foundation’s strict principles in selecting projects which support
conservation, community and sustainable tourism.
Will part of the US$1million be used for administration costs?
No, the administration costs of TLTC
Conservation Foundation are being entirely funded by the supporting
companies. All non-profit organizations have administration costs -
staff wages, advertising and marketing, accounting & legal fees,
bank charges etc. For many, these add up to more than 20% of
contributions but as administrative costs for TLTC Conservation
Foundation will be absorbed by the supporting companies, a total of
US$1million will go directly to the sustainable tourism and
conservation projects.
How can I support the Foundation?
At this stage the Foundation is funded solely by the contributions
from the travel companies that support it. At this time, the
Foundation is not set up to receive donations from the public,
however by supporting the companies that donate to the Foundation
you will be encouraging the good work being done. There are also
many other things you can do to help protect the environment so we
encourage you to start by making small changes in your own life that
will help protect the environment.
