CALTRAVEL FOUNDATION
CalTravel is always looking for opportunities to elevate its impact on the industry and bring greater value to its members, which is why we established the CalTravel Foundation—a 501(c)(3) with a mission to ensure the long-term viability of the industry through innovation, education, and research.
While the association tackles the issues of today, the Foundation allows us to prepare for the issues of tomorrow by serving as an incubator, research arm, innovation think tank, and investor in a high-quality workforce.
PROJECTS
CA EVENT FUND
The Foundation will fund the research and strategy needed to create a state-run California Event Fund, which will help our state compete effectively against other states to attract events of all sizes and bring more revenue to communities across the state.

To help develop the next generation of travel leaders, the Mike Gallagher Scholarship Fund will award cash scholarships to worthy college or university students who are residents of California and are interested in pursuing a degree in tourism or hospitality.
