The Intrepid Foundation has partnered with the American Red Cross to support communities affected by the devastating wildfires in Hawaii. Your donation will help provide emergency shelter, meals and other critical support as the disaster continues.
To make your support go further, The Intrepid Foundation is dollar-matching donations up to $50,000 USD. And as always, we’ll take care of the administrative costs, so 100% of your donation goes where it’s needed most.

As the worst natural disaster in Hawaii’s history, the wildfires have taken the lives of more than 95 people, with the death toll expected to rise in the coming days. Reports indicate the disaster has destroyed more than 2,200 homes and businesses.
Your donations will help the Red Cross provide emergency shelter on the islands of Maui and Oahu. They’ll also support affected communities with access to relief supplies, health, mental health and spiritual care services, assistance finding loved ones, and casework support as shaken communities plan their next steps.
“Intrepid Travel was founded on the idea of using travel as a force for good. By launching this appeal and matching donations, we aim to support the local communities in Hawaii as they recover and get back on their feet, many of whom have devastatingly lost their homes and their livelihoods… this tragedy is a stark reminder of the fragility of our natural world and the places we love visiting the most,” said Matt Berna, Intrepid’s President of the Americas.
