Give Back Hospitality
Hospitality Can Make a Difference Beyond the Stay.
Give Back Hospitality brings together short-term rental hosts, property managers, and hospitality industry partners who believe giving back can be part of what we do.
Whether you're already making a difference or looking for a place to start, there's a way for you to get involved.
Small actions. Meaningful impact.
Giving Back Through Hospitality Might Be Easier Than You Think.
You don't need a big budget, extra staff, or a complicated program to make a difference. Sometimes it's about looking at what you're already doing and finding a way to make it meaningful.
It's Not Always About Money
Giving back can mean donating useful items, sharing resources, or inviting guests to participate.
It Doesn't Have to Take More Time
Build giving back into something you're already doing, something you're passionate about, and something that works best for your business.
One Initiative Can Create A Ripple Effect
Choose what works best for your business: start with one company-wide give-back initiative or incorporate an initiative into each property.

What guests are saying about Hosting With Heart.
"This is the first time I've felt like a person instead of a patient in over a year.
"On Mother's Day we saw a homeless person, my 7-year-old gave him the blessing bag and he kept smiling and saying thank you. She said, 'I just made his day.' Staying at this Airbnb isn't only a great experience — it just keeps on giving.
"Debbie's properties are so much more than beautiful places to stay; they reflect her heart, values, and love for her community. Her business isn't just hospitality — it's connection.
"Our favorite part was how much this family gives back. We loved asking our girls which charity they chose.
"We were impressed by the 'give back' feature of this rental and the loving spirit that infused this home.
"Wait until you try the coffee and read about their heart to serve the community and give back!
"Clean home, very responsive host, and reading about the charitable causes they support truly makes the stay worthwhile.
"The owners thought of every little extra — from coffee and filters to a blessing bag to take home.
Hospitality is more than a stay. It's a chance to create connection and impact.
