ABG ADVENTURES IN CUBA QUICKGUIDE

Effortless & impactful fundraising for your institution

Here’s what fundraising could look like.

Why? Because finding creative and effective ways to fundraise without exhausting your staff is nearly impossible.

Project Por Amor does the heavy lifting so you can focus on your mission.

  • Options for customization:

    1. A high-end exclusive tour targeted to your donors building meaningful community and loyalty to ABG.

    2. A student exchange allowing for your under-served youth to connect with youth in Cuba while collaborating on a community art project in Havana.

    3. A combination of both patron and youth tours where donors have the option to invite a student on a life changing trip abroad as well as go themselves. Tours would intersect at key moments.

  • Our tours are a fun and effective way to raise significant funds to fuel your organization’s operating costs. Offering a tour to your community doesn’t cost you anything and you set the parameters of how much you would like to make. Include as many free of cost travelers to the program as you like, understanding that this will impact the fundraising potential. See a sample cost breakdown on earning potential below.

  • Piggy-back on our decades of experience and relationships in Cuba. We curate your perfect sequence of experiences culminating in an absolutely transformative cultural immersion. We offer personalized attention and expert handling of all bureaucratic paperwork, communications, insurance, visas, accounting, and planning to keep your staff free to focus on maximizing relationships.

  • We handpick the best boutique hotels, restaurants, and artisanal services introducing you to a panorama of people, music, flavors, ideas, landscapes, art, and history. Celebrate the diversity of our human race, broaden perspectives, and be a part of building a two-way exchange of culture, dialogue, and global understanding.

Cannot imagine a better introduction and understanding of Cuba. The other travelers in the program were an integral part of making the tour such a memorable experience. Thank you!"

How To Work Together in

3 Simple Steps

1. We design your tour

You tell us what you want (target audience, dates, focus, other requests) and we create your itinerary, a proposal contract, an online detailed brochure, a booking system, and all the marketing materials.

2. You announce it to your community

Add it to your newsletter, website, social media feeds, and talk it up until we’ve reached the target group number. That’s all you need to do.

3. We make the magic happen

We follow up with all the registrants to prepare them for the journey. We process payments, book, and pay for all the services, paperwork, and activities, and send you a profit margin check upon return.

Our sophisticated system of technology and staff in Los Angeles and Havana provide an extraordinary customer experience from start to finish.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Authenticity is at the core of what we do. We promise genuine cultural exchanges, diving into the local stories of each destination. We thoughtfully curate interactions with prominent figures such as artists, journalists, entrepreneurs, chefs, spiritual leaders, farmers, and more to offer real insights into the cultural fabric of each destination. We immerse you in live concerts, art exhibits, sophisticated cuisine, and architectural tours. We avoid tourist clichés. Travelers return home relaxed and intellectually inspired by a richer understanding of our world.

  • Participants and your staff will not have to worry about travel logistics or inconveniences. Aside from purchasing flights, we handle all the red tape, from visas to travel licenses, itineraries, reservations, communications and payments. We strive to ensure a stress-free experience, complete with luxury accommodations so that you can fully immerse yourself in the transformative journey.

  • Your safety is our top priority. We provide on-call assistance for any emergency, safe and secure accommodations and transportation, and in-country medical insurance. We only travel to countries that lead the world in the lowest crime levels and best health care systems.

  • We recommend visiting Cuba in the winter or spring. Cuba is too hot in the summer and September and October is hurricane season. Tropical destinations are fabulous when it’s cold at home.

  • Our adventures are specially designed to foster meaningful connections, allowing your community time to bond with each other over unforgettable shared experiences. Opportunities for intensive group learning and new experiences stimulate conversation throughout the program. It is common for travelers to develop close ties that extend beyond the tour resulting in regular reunion get-togethers years later.

  • There are lots of benefits to be had from this tour. You set the retail price to control your per-person margin. It is common to generate over one thousand dollars per person for groups of twenty or more travelers. Furthermore, providing this life-changing experience to your patrons will increase their annual giving which sometimes far exceeds the built-in revenue. Finally, you'll be able to give a couple of free trips to your staff who accompany the group, usually the director or other trusted staff. Cuba tends to be a more profitable destination because the landed cost is a lot lower than Iceland and it can easily accommodate larger group sizes.

  • Planning a tour at least a year out works best. This gives us enough time to design the perfect experience, reserve our first-choice accommodations, and announce the opportunity before participants plan other travel for the year. The earlier we start, the easier it is to be successful. However, many prices and bookings are not available more than eighteen months ahead of time.
