Airbnb announced the latest recipients of Airbnb Community Fund donations, including eight nonprofit organisations across India that are driving meaningful change across communities.
Launched in 2020, the Airbnb Community Fund is a $100 million initiative designed to support local communities and the people who live there. This year, Airbnb donated nearly $10 million to nonprofits globally, supporting organisations working to strengthen communities around the world.
Airbnb hosts are deeply connected to their communities, and each year we proudly partner with the host community to identify important issues and many of the nonprofit organisations that will receive donations.
Globally, Host Advisory Board members helped select economic empowerment, sustainable and rural tourism, environmental sustainability, and ending abuse and exploitation as focus areas for this year’s donations.
They also reviewed nominations in their regions, bringing a host perspective to every decision.
Amanpreet Bajaj, Country Head, Airbnb India and Southeast Asia, said, “Community is at the heart of everything we do at Airbnb.
Through the Airbnb Community Fund, we are proud to support organisations across India that are creating sustainable opportunities and building resilience at the grassroots level.
These nonprofits are addressing some of the most critical challenges facing local communities today, from livelihoods and education, to sustainability and protection for vulnerable groups, and we are honoured to support their work alongside our host community.”
