The Hearts Behind the Mission
Meet Sebastian & Maria, Founders of Community First Travel

We founded Community First Travel to make supporting local and national causes effortless. When you book your next vacation, business trip, or weekend getaway through our portal, you get the same (or better) competitive market rates you would find anywhere else. Family, friends, and individuals can book travel directly through us, and non-profits can share their own portal with members to generate fundraising for their organizations.  The difference? Instead of going to big booking sites, when you book through Community First Travel, a portion of that money goes straight back to the causes and programs you care about. 


Our promise is simple:

Travel Globally ~ Give Locally


Thank you for partnering with us to strengthen our communities and charities, one journey at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Does booking through our portal cost the individual or the organization anything extra?
    • A: Absolutely not. They get the exact same competitive market rates (or better) they would find on major booking sites. The giveback is paid entirely out of our travel agency commission.

  • Q: How does it work if I book travel as an individual?
    • A:  You pick where you want to go, pick the charity from our list and we send a check on your behalf.

  • Q: What types of organizations do you partner with?
    • A: We partner with any registered 501c organization - including school PTO's, booster clubs, youth sports teams, animal shelters, and civic non-profits.

  • Q: How and when are the contributions paid out?
    • A: Once travel is completed and the supplier pays the commission, usually 30-45 days out, a percentage is issued directly to your organization or charity.
