Airbnb is pleased to announce the latest recipients of the Airbnb Community Fund, which include more than 130 organisations making a difference in twenty-five countries across the globe. 

 

Launched in 2020, the Airbnb Community Fund is a $100 million initiative designed to support local communities and the people who live there. In 2025, the Airbnb Community Fund donated ten million dollars to nonprofits globally, supporting organisations working to strengthen communities around the world. 

 

Airbnb Community Fund recipients 

 

Airbnb hosts are deeply connected to their communities, and each year, we proudly partner with the host community to identify critical issues and many of the nonprofit organisations that will receive donations. 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.

 

The following national and regional organisations are among those receiving donations
