He who has never denied himself for the sake of giving, has but glanced at the joys of charity.– Anne Swetchine
Runway Travel Co. makes a difference by contributing to organizations that make the difference. There are several organizations that are near and dear to our hearts. It is our pleasure to support these nonprofits. Travel is a luxury many can’t afford. That’s why it is so important to us to give back.
As we enter this season of gratitude, Runway Travel is excited to highlight two meaningful ways to give back through travel: our returning Charitable Referral Campaign and our new Charity Partnership Program.
Client Referral Campaign
For every referral that results in a booking now through December 31, 2025, we’ll make a donation to the charity of YOUR choice. Last year’s campaign was a great success, with donations to 11 client-chosen charities, turning travel into a lasting difference.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Spread the Word – Know someone ready to plan their next getaway? Refer them to Runway Travel.
2️⃣ They Book – Once confirmed, we’ll reach out for your chosen charity.
3️⃣ We Give – A donation will be made in your name.
Charity Partnership Program — Ongoing
We’re announcing our new charitable travel partnership — a program that transforms travel into ongoing support for a charity’s mission while rewarding the patrons with exclusive travel benefits.
Here’s how it works:
The charity is featured as a partner through a co-branded TravelWits booking portal, customized with their logo and message. TravelWits is a one-stop planning and booking tool that gives supporters access to our preferred benefits, partner perks, and personalized travel assistance — often with better rates than they can find elsewhere.
In turn, Runway Travel donates 10% of our gross commission from every qualifying booking made through the TravelWits link — creating a steady stream of contributions to the charity. It’s a partnership that gives back!
✨ Supporters enjoy Runway Travel’s exclusive perks and personalized service.
💎 The charity receives donations from every trip booked.
🌍 Together, we turn travel into a force for good.
Together, we can make every adventure a step toward something greater — supporting your mission with every mile traveled. Contact Us and let’s support your favorite charity.
At Runway Travel, this cause is deeply personal, our team has a mother and friends who have been directly affected. Breast cancer touches far too many lives: 1 in 6 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
This October, we’re doing our part. For every reservation made, Runway Travel will donate to Susan G. Komen to support groundbreaking research, advocacy, and care.
💗 Travel with purpose —and together, let’s make a difference beyond the journey.

Kiva (Microfinance Company)
Kiva is a digital marketplace where individuals can lend as little as $25 to create opportunity for people around the world. More than 1.7 billion people around the world are unbanked and can’t access the financial services they need. Kiva is an international nonprofit, with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. They do this by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for the underserved, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world. Through Kiva’s work, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care. Runway Travel is proud to make a monthly donation.
Addi’s Faith Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope and support to children fighting against pediatric cancer. With over 175,000 children diagnosed with pediatric cancer each year and only 4% of federal research funding going toward pediatric cancer research, there is a great need for funding to support research into treatments to help find a cure.
Jessica Griscavage – Greater Good Charities 
Greater Good Charities donates from feeding shelter pets to providing supplies to veterans in need — Greater Good Charities was born out of a desire to make a real difference. They work with over thousands of charity partners worldwide, and operate several of our own on-the-ground programs to ensure your donation has maximum impact.
Jennifer Waigand – Amnesty International
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who are committed to preserving human rights worldwide, and creating a future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone and human right violators are held accountable. I truly believe that travel is the most powerful way to break down barriers, promote understanding, empathy, and tolerance, and embrace the richness of diverse cultures.
Mariah Jardine – Alzheimer’s Association
Alzheimer’s is a deteriorating brain disease that is caused by complex brain changes following cell damage. As Alzheimer’s advances, symptoms get more severe and include disorientation, confusion and behavior changes. An estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia and there currently is no cure for the disease. Even though most people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older, approximately 200,000 Americans under 65 are living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Runway Travel is donating to help grow philanthropic support for Alzheimer’s research, which is important for finding new treatments to stop, slow and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Jennifer Dennis – American Red Cross
My charity of choice is the American Red Cross because of their unwavering commitment to saving lives and supporting communities in times of crisis. As a universal blood donor, I’m passionate about giving back by donating blood frequently, knowing it can make a life-saving difference for those in need. Beyond their vital role in maintaining the nation’s blood supply, the Red Cross provides critical relief and recovery efforts during major disasters, offering hope and support when people need it most. Their mission aligns with my values of care, compassion, and community, making them a cause I’m proud to champion.
Rachel Amatuzzi – Trust for Public Land
The Trust for Public Land creates parks and protects public land where it’s needed most so that everyone will have access to the benefits and joys of the outdoors for generations to come. Since 1972, they have protected 4 million acres of land and connected almost 10 million people to outdoor space.
Samantha Treeful – Lisasladsandlasses
In 2019, 48-year-old Lisa Scibilia, a wife and mother of three from Massachusetts, began experiencing persistent shortness of breath and a cough. Within a month, she was diagnosed with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer caused by an ALK+ gene mutation.
Lisa’s Lads & Lasses was founded by local friends to support Lisa and others affected by ALK+ cancer. ALK Positive, Inc., a patient-led organization, works to improve life expectancy and quality of life for ALK+ patients by funding research, clinical trials, and patient education. Thanks to research, the current median survival rate has increased to 6.8 years. However, more research is vital for Lisa and other ALK+ patients to have a future.
