Tipstor® I Foundation

PAWS & PURPOSE

We are an organization dedicated to advancing sustainability and compassionate travel by donating a portion of all Tipstor® proceeds to animal shelters and rescue centers. Our mission is to provide vital nourishment and medical support to the dogs, cats, and local pets that call our travel destinations home.

The “Million Meals” Challenge is our commitment to ensuring that as we explore the world, we never forget the four-legged companions who live in it. Join us as we journey across the globe, turning every trip into an opportunity to fill a bowl and save a life. Together, we can make a difference.One paw at a time, community by community.

We aim to benefit host communities by supporting their local animal welfare, protecting the furry friends that make every neighborhood feel like home, and inspiring guests to travel with a deeper sense of responsibility toward all living creatures.

THE “MILLION MEALS” CHALLENGE

To a pet owner, food insecurity means the heartbreak of staring at an empty kibble bag and not knowing when it can be refilled. It’s the relentless anxiety of watching your loyal dog or cat wait by their bowl, unaware of why their dinner is missing. It’s the devastating choice some are forced to make between feeding themselves or providing a meal for their beloved furry family members.

Picture the toll this takes on a household. The mental strain of seeing a pet, who offers nothing but unconditional love, grow weak or lethargic from lack of nutrition is a heavy burden. For dogs and cats, especially growing puppies and kittens, a lack of consistent, quality food erodes their health and spirit. This stress creates a downward spiral that affects the entire family, as the bond between humans and their pets is often the only source of comfort during hard times.

To combat this, Marc Ford and the Tipstor® team are committed to protecting these vulnerable companions. In every country we visit, we pledge to donate meals to animal shelters and rescue organizations, providing tangible support to dogs and cats in need. By helping to fill the bowls of local pets, we aim to alleviate the burden of hunger and keep families, and their four-legged best friends, together.

VISION

We envision a world where tourism not only connects people to new places but also uplifts the animals that share them. As part of our commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism, we pledge to donate one million meals to local animal shelters and rescue organizations worldwide over the next five years. This initiative ensures that the communities hosting travelers—including their most vulnerable dogs, cats, and pets—benefit directly from tourism, fostering a legacy of compassion and care.

Our vision places animal welfare at the heart of the travel experience. We aim to address pet food insecurity, support overworked shelters, and promote humane treatment by partnering with local animal advocates. Our efforts focus on inclusive, community-driven support that respects local needs while leveraging sustainable practices to ensure that no bowl goes empty and no pet is forgotten.

Together with industry partners and local stakeholders, we strive to make travel a force for good, ensuring that every journey leaves a positive impact on the four-legged residents who make our global communities so special.
