• THE DESTINATIONS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION'S HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCU) SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING UNDERREPRESENTED AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE STUDENTS PURSUING DEGREES IN HOSPITALITY OR TOURISM MANAGEMENT.

• SOCIAL INCLUSION: IN 2024, THERE WAS A SHIFT FROM 'EDI' TO 'SOCIAL INCLUSION' TO EMPHASIZE OUR DEDICATION TO FOSTERING SPACES AND PLACES WITHIN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY THAT CULTIVATE A TRUE SENSE OF COMMUNITY, WELCOMING AND BELONGING FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS AND ABILITIES. THE DI FOUNDATION HAS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SOCIAL INCLUSION DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH THE CREATION OF RELATED RESEARCH, TOOLS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS THE SOCIAL INCLUSION STRATEGY, SOCIAL INCLUSION IMPLEMENTATION WORKBOOK, AND THE SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT TOOL RELEASED IN EARLY 2024.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
