Aramark Destinations Makes Giving Back Part of the Guest Experience with New Transaction Round Up Program

September 15, 2026

Transaction Round Up gives guests an easy way to support conservation, education, and local communities through purchases at participating destinations

Aramark Destinations has announced the launch of Transaction Round Up, a new guest giving program that makes it easier for visitors to support local nonprofit organizations while experiencing national and state parks, resorts, lodges, and other destinations across the United States.

Guests at participating Aramark Destinations locations can choose at checkout to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar or make a custom donation. Contributions benefit nonprofit organizations connected to each destination, directing guest support to organizations advancing conservation, education, natural resource protection, community development and emergency services in the places guests visit.

“Every destination we serve is part of a larger community with organizations doing incredible work to preserve these places and enrich the lives of the people who call them home,” said Sasha Day, President and CEO of Aramark Destinations. “Transaction Round Up gives our guests an easy, meaningful opportunity to become part of that impact while visiting some of America’s most treasured destinations.”

Transaction Round Up builds charitable giving into an everyday part of the guest experience. Rather than requiring a separate donation process, guests can choose to contribute when making a purchase at participating locations.

The program is available at 17 locations across the Aramark Destinations portfolio and is expected to expand to additional sites. A sampling of nonprofit partners benefiting from guest contributions includes:

 

  • National Park Foundation
  • Glen Canyon Conservancy
  • Grand Teton National Park Foundation
  • Grand Canyon Conservancy
  • Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
  • Yosemite Conservancy

 

Additional nonprofit organizations associated with participating Aramark Destinations locations will also benefit from the program. Through these partnerships, guest contributions can help expand educational opportunities, protect natural and cultural resources, and strengthen the communities connected to each destination.

The program reflects Aramark Destinations’ broader approach to connecting hospitality and guest experiences with stewardship of the places and communities it serves. By integrating optional charitable giving into checkout, Transaction Round Up gives visitors a simple way to extend the impact of their trip beyond their stay.
