THE HEART OF SOJOURN VENTURES
For more than 20 years, Sojourn Ventures Travel has partnered with thousands of nonprofits, bringing unforgettable travel experiences to fundraising events and helping raise over $200 million for causes that matter.
What began with our founders Rob and Stacey’s deep love for Italy and Bali has grown into a family-run, woman-owned Pacific Northwest–based company built on passion, connection, and genuine hospitality. Their earliest adventures in Cortona and the villages of Bali shaped not only their lives, but the heart of Sojourn’s mission: to share authentic, meaningful travel experiences that inspire generosity and create positive impact around the world.
At Sojourn Ventures, every journey we offer has been personally selected and vetted by our team. Our dedicated staff works hand-in-hand with our global operators, many of whom feel like extended family, to craft one-of-a-kind trips your donors will remember for a lifetime.
Today, our reach extends beyond Cortona and Bali to include Florence, Puglia, Spain, and other destinations we know and love. We invite you to partner with Sojourn to elevate your fundraising and give your donors access to extraordinary travel experiences.
