Our Sponsors
The Conscious Travel Foundation is proudly sponsored by JORO and ÀNI Private Resorts. The vital funding we receive from our sponsors ensures we can continue our grant-making programme and invest in our learning initiatives, driving meaningful impact and supporting long-term positive change within the travel industry.
ÀNI Private Resorts
From January 2025, ÀNI Private Resorts join JORO in sponsoring The Conscious Travel Foundation in a three-year partnership. Rooted in philanthropy and inspired by a passion for art, ÀNI operate the non-profit ÀNI Art Academies alongside their four exclusive resorts located in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Anguilla and the Dominican Republic. These innovative academies offer multi-year free curriculum to aspiring artists in the communities in which they operate. When the artworks are purchased, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the artists. ÀNI’s resorts are also designed to be fully accessible, allowing all guests, regardless of their abilities, to feel welcome and embrace the ÀNI spirit of ‘togethering’.
Stories from ÀNI Art Academies
Commissioned for The Conscious Travel Foundation by ÀNI Art Academies, Wings of Wisdom is a one-of-a-kind charcoal piece by Sri Lankan artist Nimeshika Wilegodage, generously donated by ÀNI Private Resports in support of our Annual Fundraising Auction.
Every line of the piece reflects the spirit of connection and shared learning that defines both ÀNI and our Foundation. The child represents humanity, the book represents society, and the birds symbolise the creativity and compassion that lift us collectively.
Nimeshika is one of more than 50 students at the ÀNI Art Academy in Sri Lanka, where every apprentice studies on a full scholarship. The programme, rooted in classical drawing and painting, takes several years to complete and teaches not only technique but patience, focus and purpose.
PURE Life Experiences
June 2026 marked the start of an official partnership with PURE Life Experiences, the flagship event in experiential travel. Held every year in Marrakech since 2009, PURE gathers the industry's leading figures to share their work as a force for good throughout the world. Through its community's annual donations, PURE has supported Education For All Morocco (EFAM) for 16 years running, helping local women and girls access higher education. Now, with our partnership, PURE hopes to also drive awareness and action for many more projects and causes around the globe.
