The Global Hospitality Collective is the umbrella organization. Give Back Hospitality is the give back movement, within TGHC, uniting hosts to use hospitality as a force for good.  Hosting with Heart is what you do to bring purpose into the guest experience.  The Impact Circle is the community that accompanies Hosting with Heart. 

The Global Hospitality Collective (TGHC) began as a group of hosts from around the world sharing their stories of what it means to be truly hospitable. What started as storytelling has grown into a global movement, now including an accreditation academy, podcast, docuseries, give-back initiatives, local meetups, and both in-person and virtual hospitality summits that educate and inspire hosts everywhere.

Give Back Hospitality is a partner initiative of the Global Hospitality Collective. It is all about integrating generosity, purpose, and community impact into the short-term rental experience. It’s more than providing a place to stay, it’s about using hospitality as a platform to support local causes, create meaningful guest experiences, and make a difference together. It’s also a space to explore ideas through the 'Hosting With Heart' impact path and connect with like-minded hosts through the 'Impact Circle community.'

The Hosting With Heart is a simple way for short-term rental hosts to bring more purpose into their business. By choosing and implementing give-back initiatives, like food drives, blessing bags, pop tab collections, or kindness journals, hosts can make a tangible difference for their guests, communities, and the causes they care about.

It’s designed to give you fresh ideas, easy-to-use resources, and a badge to showcase your commitment to purposeful hospitality.  As part of your Hosting with Heart membership, you'll also gain access to The Global Hospitality Collective Community, connecting you with the broader TGHC ecosystem, including the Academy, Local Series events, and pathways to accreditation.
