impact today

Your contribution is more than a donation — it is the key that unlocks a world of opportunity for a student who has the drive but lacks the access.

At the Alumni Abroad Foundation, every dollar goes directly toward removing the financial hurdles that keep motivated students grounded. Our Year 1 goal is $15,000 — funding ten $1,000 student grants, covering essential operations, and laying the foundation for an even stronger 2027 cohort.

Ten students. Ten grants. One community making it possible.

Every dollar you give is working — toward a student's first passport stamp, and toward building an organization that can do this again and again.

Many employers match charitable donations dollar-for-dollar — some even 2:1. AAF is registered on Benevity. Search "Alumni Abroad Foundation" in your employee giving portal to see if your company participates in a matching program.

Every matched dollar goes directly toward student access — making your generosity go even further.
