You believe that a kid’s experience can shape who they become.

At Wonderful Foundations, we believe the same.

That’s why we created FieldTrip, an experiential learning program developed for kids to spark curiosity, build confidence, and introduce them to a whole new world of opportunities they never dreamed of.

We’re not just funding bus rides, we’re sparking breakthroughs.

Take a field trip with us...

You believe in potential. You invest in impact.

Remember that feeling?  

Once the permission slips were signed, the outfit laid out, lunchbox packed… Just one more sleep between you and your school field trip.

 

“Who will I sit with on the bus?”

 

“What are we getting for snack?”

 

“I can’t wait for tomorrow to be here already!”

Remember the stories that came after?

The ones you rambled on about at the dinner table. The inside jokes. The new best friend. The burst of confidence that came with the realization that independence was within reach. That moment when something just clicked.

If that feeling still lives somewhere in you—then you get it. You can understand why FieldTrip is so important to us.

 

Our goal is to give students more of those moments. Those priceless memories. More chances to explore, imagine, connect, and grow. FieldTrip isn’t just a day away from the every day school routine—we’re creating that spark that ignites a lifelong curiosity. Help us give the gift of that feeling to more kids.

And that’s what you're helping create.

The future is in their hands. You’re helping them reach for it, one FieldTrip
adventure at a time.

Turning curiosity into confidence one FieldTrip at a time.

FieldTrip is a new Wonderful Foundations’ experience program built on a simple and powerful idea: when kids step out into the real world, they grow into it. Through thoughtfully curated real-world adventures, we help students:

  • Discover their spark
  • Build confidence and community
  • See beyond what they thought was possible

Because one afternoon of hands-on learning can shape their sense of self for years to come.

Why FieldTrip Matters

Because Experience Builds Identity

Because for many kids, the world feels as small as the few blocks they walk each day, the same school hallways, the same four walls.

They’ve never felt the hush of a theater before a curtain rises. Or called “action” on the set of their very first video project. Or solved a buzzer beating puzzle with friends in an escape room. Or kicked a pebble all the way up a trail and realized just how big and vast and full of possibility the world really is.

That’s what FieldTrip can do for kids. These aren’t just fun times outside the normal school routine—they are moments that stick. FieldTrips create identity-building moments that show kids who they can be, what they can dream, and how far they might go.

Because when kids get to step out into the world, they start to see their place in it. And that changes everything.

"I didn’t know I could be a pilot. Then I met one.”

Something For Everyone 

We have a wide range of field trip experiences that we’re proud to support. From the creative to the technological, comedy to escape rooms, there’s endless opportunity for kids to explore their passions and untap new potential with every trip.  

The best part? We’re just getting started.

You’re giving more than just a FieldTrip

You know because you’ve lived it. A single FieldTrip can completely change how a kid sees the world, their community, and their unique and wonderful role in it all. Your support brings education into the real world, expanding their view, and opening a whole new world of opportunity that stays with them long after the experience ends.

Help us create a moment that matters.
