1994

How We Started

In 1994, Michelle Cohen and Stuart Paskow leveraged their experience in non-profit reward programs to launch Mitch-Stuart, Inc. Starting with the American Airlines AAdvantage® Fundraising program, It took less than a year for Mitch-Stuart to raise over $1 million for charitable organizations.

Over three decades later, Mitch-Stuart is now synonymous with fundraising through travel experiences and has raised over $1 billion for nonprofit organizations. And we plan to raise $1 billion more.

Our proven business incentive programs boost sales performance, grow profits by 30% and improve employee retention by 40%.


Our Team

With over 30 years experience in non-profit fundraising and business promotion, Mitch-Stuart makes it easy for you to tap the power of travel to achieve your goals. Our extensive knowledge, attention to detail and passionate commitment to customer service set us apart.
