Jack and Ferdi PBC's social mission is to help business travelers & remote workers stay healthy and, at the same time, leverage travel for personal development purposes. Jack and Ferdi aims to create positive social change – specifically to advance a new way of traveling for work that is more meaningful and intentional. Bleisure travelers, who only have pockets of free time, have specific needs. Jack and Ferdi focuses on addressing these needs with actionable recommendations to stay healthy and develop cultural awareness. As a travel companion, Jack and Ferdi use bleisure as a force for business travelers and remote workers' well-being and personal growth. Jack and Ferdi relies on local and expert sources to curate the highest quality authentic experiences in each destination and make travel more beneficial to the local businesses and communities. Travelers are encouraged to engage with amazing nonprofit organizations featured in every city. Although there are many more amazing charities, the list is carefully curated based on criteria such as impact and governance. Each time a for-profit organization buys J+F, we donate 10% of the revenue to an impactful nonprofit organization of our choice, or the for-profit organization decides where J+F will donate 10% of our revenue.
