Take part

This is for
You too

Project Takeoff is not only for donors. If you want the trip, the coaching, the grant, or the cohort, this is where you raise your hand. Getting on the waitlist is free, takes two minutes, and puts you first in line when scholarship seats open.

Interested in our partner Girls Trip Society retreats? Their application process is separate — contact us and we will point you to the right place.

Join the waitlist

We read every submission. When a cohort, trip, or grant cycle opens in your area, waitlist members hear about it first — before it goes public.

Applying costs nothing and does not commit you to anything.
