TAP supports three new organisations until 2026

TAP Miles&Go clients can donate their miles for solidarity travel to help communities in need.

TAP Air Portugal announces that the final phase of the winners’ selection for the Altitude Film Fest, its 1st On Board Film Festival, is already underway on board the airline's long-haul TAP Air Portugal will support three new social organisations until 2026. Through the TAP Miles&Go programme, the airline will donate miles to Apoiar, Orbis and Sol Sem Fronteiras. These organisations were selected from more than 100 applications submitted to the TAP Donate Miles programme for the three-year period 2024-2026.

The miles donated by TAP are matched by the generosity of TAP Miles&Go Clients who, by donating miles, offer these organisations the chance to travel in solidarity on TAP's network of destinations. Each of the three organisations receives one million miles, offered by TAP in the year of joining the TAP Donate Miles programme, and a further one million offered by Customers, which are then exchanged for trips to take the help where it is needed.

TAP Donate Miles “Causas com Asas” (Causes with Wings) is TAP's social responsibility initiative, created in 2007, which has so far helped more than 60 social organisations whose projects meet the objectives defined by the Company as part of its sustainability programme.

APOIAR - Associação Portuguesa de Apoio a África is a Portuguese Non-Governmental Organisation set up in 1995 that promotes development projects in the areas of Nutrition, Health, Education and Training, and since 2012 has focused on Mozambique. In a country where 35 per cent of the population lives in a situation of food and nutritional insecurity, APOIAR has already helped around 15,000 people. 

ORBIS was set up in 2006 with the aim of empowering vulnerable communities with projects that promote their equitable, integral and sustainable development. It works mainly in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe and Brazil in areas such as education, health and employment and vocational training. 

Sol Sem Fronteiras is committed to ‘ensuring that every young person and child has access to a quality education, promoting solidarity and social justice’ in countries such as Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal and São Tomé and Príncipe.
