For many nonprofit operations, travel is an essential part of their work. This could include for the purpose of attending conferences, conducting fieldwork, meeting with potential partners or participating in specialized training. However, travel doesn’t come for free, which is why many nonprofits rely on the support from nonprofit grants to cover travel expenses.

Such travel expense grants can cover the cost of travel itself, as well as accommodation and daily expenses. Many private and community foundations may provide travel expense grants to nonprofits that are engaged in a mission that aligns with their own goals. When drafting travel expense grant proposals, it's essential that you create a solid expectation of what the travel costs will be, how they will be broken down, and why your nonprofit needs to let these particular members travel.

If you need further information on writing great grant proposals, make sure to check out our comprehensive guide on the topic. You can also start browsing travel expense grants right here, all open for applications.
