TreadRight launches Heritage Initiative

The TreadRight Foundation, a joint initiative between The Travel Corporation’s family of brands, has launched The TreadRight Heritage Initiative, which will focus on supporting European artisans in its first year.

In partnership with the Aspen Institute’s Alliance for Artisan Enterprise, the initiative will use a series of grants to help support select European artisan enterprises that engage in the creation of handmade and culturally significant products. Grant applications are now open and interested organizations and individuals can apply through the Alliance for Artisan Enterprise. Recipients will be announced in January 2015. 

The TreadRight Heritage Initiative marks the second initiative launched by TreadRight, following the September launch of The TreadRight Wildlife Initiative.
