What Getaway Growth does
Mission
As our world becomes increasingly interconnected and we experience an era of unprecedented world challenges, underserved communities need help overcoming steep barriers to enriching learning opportunities such as international educational travel. Many cannot afford travel costs, unpaid internships, or passport and visa expenses. These disparities reinforce inequities in professional networks, workforce preparedness, and cross-cultural fluency. Without intervention, inequitable access to global exposure perpetuates cycles of limited opportunity. Getaway Growth addresses this gap by providing fully funded, structured, and ethically designed global immersion programs for youth ages 15-24 from historically under-resourced communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Getaway Growth's flagship Intercultural Competence program, a 15 day international experiential learning program in Kenya, was held from June 26 to July 14, providing underserved youth with immersive cultural exchange, leadership development, and global education opportunities. The program included 36 hours of historical and cultural exploration, with students engaging directly with local communities, traditions, and educational workshops. The program served 5 students, 3 from the United States and 2 from Kenya, with all expenses fully covered, including travel, accommodation, meals, visas, and full program participation.
$41,876 spent100% of program spendingGetaway Growth provides structured professional and personal development training, equipping students with skills for academic, career, and leadership success. In 2025, students completed 30 hours of professional and personal development programming, including training in human-centered design, social entrepreneurship, resume building, LinkedIn optimization, networking, and financial literacy. This program emphasized critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence, enabling students to translate their global experiences into future opportunities. Participants reported significant growth in problem-solving, leadership, and self-awareness, preparing them for college and career pathways while reinforcing their role as global citizens.
Getaway Growth's flagship program additionally focuses on hands-on service learning and community engagement, allowing students to contribute to sustainable local initiatives while learning alongside community partners. Students completed 20 hours of service learning and community impact activities, including environmental conservation efforts, cultural exchange projects, and collaborations with organizations such as A Rocha Kenya and local community groups. Activities included beach cleanups, conservation education, and traditional skill-building exchanges, fostering mutual learning between students and host communities. Through this program, participants developed a deeper understanding of global challenges and their role in addressing them. Notably, 100% of students reported increased empathy and awareness of diverse perspectives following participation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $30k to $8k (−74%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of GETAWAY GROWTH’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $16k → $20k.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of GETAWAY GROWTH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
GETAWAY GROWTH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GETAWAY GROWTH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 99% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of GETAWAY GROWTH's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
