DO-Nation & donations!
We like to imagine a world where communications are easy, where difference in culture is fun and where tolerance and appreciation are at the base of all interactions. And we want to contribute in shaping such a world!
We look for interesting and unique experiences both in main destinations and in remote areas, where you will get in touch with local culture and better understand the country you are visiting.
For each experience you book with us, we contribute with donations to children support programs, to help shape a better world!
This is why we started DO-Nation!
YOU BOOK, WE GIVE!
The more you book with us, the more we can contribute!
How it works
- DO-Nation selects 3 social projects to support.
- You book at DO-Nation and select one of the three nominated donation beneficiaries. (We understand that you may want to select who receives your donation and so we will always propose three different projects and inform you of progress made in reaching our goals.
- DO-Nation destines 2% of its proceeds to the selected project/s.
- Suppliers who want to donate a portion of their revenue to the same project/s will be highlighted as “contributing suppliers”.
- If you want to donate without booking you can do so at anytime.
- Nominated projects will change as we achieve the target we have set for each project.
Selection Criteria
- No political involvement.
- No religion preference. (We know that many social projects are run by religious associations and any eventual choice of any such organizations as a project does not imply DO-Nation’s preference or involvement in that specific religion).
- We check the reliability of project team and / or association.
- We apply a “small and effective” help approach giving preference to projects that can be realized in the short term so that more children in more countries will benefit from our support.
Projects
Macchina dei Sogni - A non-profit association offering compulsory and vocational education to abandoned children of La Plata, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It also offers vocational training to adults who need to improve their skills to find a job.
DO-Nation for Macchina dei Sogni: We will provide tools and materials for the project "Giovani al Lavoro" (Youth learning a job).
The project started in 2009, with the participation of the La Plata Administration, with the goal of teaching a profession to the youth of the area. During the two years of Electricity Technician course, students will learn the job and train within the Association and the neighborhood, organized in work groups. At the end of the course, students will obtain a Professional Diploma of Electricity Technician and have access to more work opportunities.

Daniele Amanti Fund - Part of the Parent Project Foundation, this fund's objective is finding a cure for a rare disease such as the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This involves a great amount of investment on research.
DO-Nation for Daniele Amanti Fund: Due to the great investments required for research, DO-Nation is not setting a specific amount to be reached within one year. We will donate as much as we will be able to gather through your selection of this specific project at the end of the year.
