Changing the world,
one journey at a time
Kensington and the entire Range group of companies was founded with philanthropy as a core pillar. For over 20 years we've started every fiscal year thinking about the good we can do and then set our sales and operating goals to fund those big aspirations. We have always been about making a difference in far flung places with our Mara West education projects, and Nekton ocean preservation missions. But as our company has grown we've also realized the importance of doing good at home. Reflecting on the year behind us, I’m proud of how intentionally we set priorities, executed with effort and care, and met those goals. Always rooted in our values and guided by our purpose.
Exploration, curiosity, and discovery are hallmarks of travel, which is why we increased our investment in understanding and protecting the natural world. Through our Exploration & Conservation pillar, we supported work that studies our environment and tells meaningful stories that inspire protection and stewardship. At the same time, we strengthened our commitment to people—because what makes a journey truly unforgettable is those who shape it. By expanding funding for Poverty Alleviation, we’re working to remove barriers and create pathways to economic opportunity. In turbulent times, we remain steadfast in supporting organizations that are creating concrete, sustainable change.
This year, through new partnerships, we expanded the footprint of our charitable support to reach more of the countries where our suppliers operate and our clients travel. In doing so, we aim to give back to the communities who share their culture, landscapes, history, and hospitality with us.
None of this is possible without the people who stand behind us—our employees, suppliers, clients, and partners. When we come together, the impact we can create is exponentially greater. This year, our community more than doubled the funds raised in support of this work, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Thank you for your continued trust and support as we move into a new season of meaningful change.

As we close out this year, it’s astounding to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together. Through the collective efforts of our employees, members, suppliers, clients, and partners, we granted more than $6.3 million to organizations creating meaningful change. This support expands access to education and clean water in Kenya, empowers women farmers in Rwanda, invests in youth through sport and outdoor education, and advances exploration and conservation across land and sea. Our impact this year was global in reach, yet deeply human in its outcomes.
How we achieved our results is just as important as the results themselves. By matching donations, investing in long-term partnerships, and supporting focused, outcome-driven projects, we have continued to strengthen a culture of giving across Kensington and the Range network. Employee-led initiatives, alongside client and travel partner engagement, demonstrate that social impact is not a side effort: it is embedded in how we work, collaborate, and lead.
Looking ahead, our commitment remains strong. We will continue to increase our funding, broaden who we support and where, and invest in organizations that deliver measurable, lasting impact. By prioritizing efficiency, transparency, and distinctive partnerships, we aim to ensure every dollar creates the most meaningful change. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building a future whereby ranging the world, we can change it for the better.
