Transform Your Property into a Platform for Impact

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 Impact Path 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 Free Community, connecting you with the broader TGHC ecosystem, including the Academy, Local Series events, and pathways to accreditation.
