Acknowledge Your Travel Award
Our Awardees are notified via email of their selection on or before the 15th of the month following your application. Awardees are also posted to our website each month.
As an Awardee, you'll need to respond to this email with an acknowledgment within 30 days to let us know if you plan to accept or decline this award and to confirm that all of the above information is correct. Your reply will ensure we keep these funds available for you to use.
The Ben Jackson Foundation will make two attempts to contact you. Failure to acknowledge the award within the time frame will result in loss of award.
Send Ben Jackson Foundation Your Travel Receipt

This information is used to promote the organization, increase donations, and recruit more applicants. Please complete the Recipient Survey and upload a few photos from your trip.
