Airbnb has begun contributing $0.10 from every stay booked on its platform to Airbnb.org, its nonprofit arm, aiming to raise $500 million over five years. The funding, which started immediately, will help Airbnb.org provide 1 million nights of free housing annually to people in crisis, including those affected by disasters, medical emergencies, domestic violence, and veterans in need. The donation does not affect guest prices or host payouts, and no opt-in is required; cancelled stays and non-accommodation bookings are excluded.
Airbnb.org, founded in 2020 and recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has provided over 1.6 million nights of housing to more than 250,000 people globally. Airbnb covers all operating costs, ensuring 100 per cent of public donations fund housing. The organization responded to over 200 disasters in 2026, up from eight in 2023, and has expanded support to include medical travel, domestic violence survivors, and veterans.
