AltruVistas’ Fellowship Program

In concert with AltruFunds, we promote transformation in the sustainable travel industry through the AltruFellows program.

AltruFellows is our professional fellowship program. We match community grantees with emerging tourism professionals to help implement community development programs, support the community’s capacity building efforts, and to bridge cultural norms. The AltruFellows program also supports grants for research on endangered cultural forms of expression, from oral traditions to dance, arts, and crafts.

Each partnered AltruVistas Fellow will live and work with the grantee community for 3-12 months, and will co-create the basic management infrastructure necessary for a local, small business to thrive in the digital world of tourism booking agencies and web-based review sites.

By providing in-person expertise to bolster the financial support we’ve awarded, AltruVistas is improving the prospects for success for these community enterprises.
