Additional Subsidies

At JDC Entwine, we value Arevut, mutual responsibility. We understand that our participants contribute significantly to the trip experience and that financial circumstances vary among our participants. We have a generous donor community that ensures participation fees for all Insider Trips are highly subsidized to provide greater access and opportunity for participation. To ensure accessibility and equitable opportunity, we are able to offer additional financial subsidies based on each participant’s ability to contribute to the cost of the trip. Learn more about our commitment to DEIB.

How it works:
Applicants accepted to an Entwine trip will receive a form to indicate need for additional financial assistance (up to 50% of the participation fee). Our team will review inquiries submitted on a case-by-case basis and inform individuals via email if we are able to offer them additional subsidies. Note: if additional subsidies are offered, the subsidy can only be applied towards the participation fee – participants are responsible for flights.
