“I couldn’t have caught a quarter of the details you managed. Having those details captured was great because it allowed me to do what I do best and focus on relationship building and connecting with the people on the trip.”

“Elevate Destinations is the “go to” travel agency if you care about your travelers. They provide excellent pre-trip education and logistical information but the real advantage is when you land in country. Our supporters were greeted right away and they took care of all logistics. Plus they made sure our guide and drivers were well informed and paid extra attention to safety.”

We hope to work with the Elevate team again in the future, and highly recommend their trips!”

Donor Travel Partners - KickStart “KickStart welcomes many visitors to Kenya but we had never sponsored our own donor safari. Could we do it? Would we lose money? Who will organize it? All of these questions kept us from trying. But Dominique and Elevate Destinations made it seem effortless. This was huge success and has already resulted in increased giving from our donors.”

Ken Weimar
Director of Development
KickStart International

Donor Travel Partners - Laird Norton “Working with Dominique to plan our foundation’s trip to Nicaragua was a pleasure and a relief. Dominique was incredibly accommodating and patient as we worked to fit in all of the meetings and visits we wanted to accomplish while in country for only a week. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Elevate again for future trips!”

Katie Briggs
Managing Director
Laird Norton Family Foundation

“We have organized donor trips ourselves in the past and after having worked with Elevate Destinations I can’t ever imagine going back.
