The Points Guy gives back
See how we support initiatives that use travel as a force for good
TPG's promise
The Points Guy is committed to using travel as a positive force to bring people together, educate communities, and support initiatives to promote equality and opportunity around the globe.
We believe that...
Travel has the power to change the world. It's about more than going on vacation. It's about breaking down cultural barriers, understanding how history impacts society, seeing the beauty in our differences and understanding diverse communities and traditions.
We partner with...
Organizations that educate the next generation of leaders and transport migrants and marginalized people to safety — giving new opportunities to deserving individuals. We harness our resources and expertise to raise and donate funds and miles for these causes and engage our community throughout the year.

In 2018, the TPG Global Impact Youth Fellowship was created to provide outstanding young changemakers the opportunity to advance their education and continue their mission for peace. As of 2022, we financially support and mentor 21 TPG Fellows from 4 countries: Liberia, Ghana, South Africa and Guatemala.
