Based in NYC and founded in early 2015, visit.org is a technology platform for curated travel experiences offered by nonprofits around the globe. Travelers use visit.org to add half- to multi-day immersive experiences to their itinerary, and revenues are channeled back to the local community through the host organizations. By offering nonprofits an innovative, sustainable way to raise funds and awareness for their causes, we’ve already attracted hundreds of organizations to create content-rich profile pages on visit.org and thousands of users to register and book tours through our platform.
