- The Nature Conservancy - Environmental protection
- Save the Children - Aiding children around the world
TripAdvisor have stated that all charities will recieve a minimum donation of $50,000, but other than that, the million dollars will be “allocated evenly among the charities, as determined by the percentage of total votes that each charity receives during the promotion period”.

Sorry for veering off topic, just wanted to let everyone know we are currently running a free draw for charity on twitter, we are trying to raise awareness for the lack of support for debilitating mental health illnesses in Canada and the United States. The top prize is $100 just for tweeting. You can make a difference, all it takes is a tweet.
