Ways to Contribute

Shaping the future of the Caribbean tourism industry

Your gift empowers today’s scholars—and inspires tomorrow’s.

Thank you for considering a gift to the CTO Scholarship Foundation. Your support fuels the success of our awardees and strengthens the future of Caribbean tourism.

Every contribution creates a ripple effect—opening doors for bright young minds today and igniting dreams for the next generation. As we invest in scholars, we also invest in the future leaders sitting in classrooms across the Caribbean, full of promise and potential.

Together, we are a thriving ecosystem of talent, generosity, and shared purpose. Thank you for being part of the vision.

Donations

  • Your one-time donation is the foundation of our success in serving students and the Caribbean. Donations can be made via Pay-Pal.

  • Join our community of supporters serving students and their educational dreams every month.

Corporate

  • Your corporate donation makes so much more possible. An annual contribution to the Foundation opens doors to creating an Honorary Scholarship in your company’s name, with the option of focusing the criteria on a tourism-related industry that’s meaningful to you.

  • Your corporate donation makes a tremendous difference for recipients and their career paths. Open the door to an exciting conversation with the Foundation, and see how your organization can get involved at an even more meaningful level.

Fundraising

  • From well-known anticipated events like Rum & Rhythm, to new events currently in development, our partners have a meaningful and unique opportunity to contribute.

  • Sponsorships are in development! These opportunities live outside of our event programming, where you can contribute in a way that impacts students and builds brand awareness.
