Opening homes in times of crisis  
We are proud to announce the launch of  
link  
Airbnb dot org  
, a nonprofit that opens homes in times of crisis.  
The inspiration for Airbnb dot org began with a single host,  
link  
Shell  
, who opened her home to those  
impacted by Hurricane Sandy.  
And it became a movement thanks to you our Open Homes and Frontline  
Stays community who have helped house 75,000 plus  people in 104 countries since 2012.  
As of today, these programs are now formally called Airbnb dot org, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit  
that will help increase our impact around the world.  
Airbnb dot org is also announcing partnerships  
with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to support global  
emergency response efforts and Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) to help cover stays for  
essential workers at COVID 19 testing sites (and future vaccine distribution centers).  
To ensure community donations go further towards helping house people in times of crisis, Airbnb  
has pledged 400,000 shares of Airbnb stock to support Airbnb dot org’s emergency response, natural  
disaster response and refugee programs.  
Additionally, Brian, Nate and I, as Airbnb co founders,  
will be contributing an additional $6 million to Airbnb dot org to support partners and impacted  
communities.  
And to thank you for your contributions, we’re launching a new badge for hosts who support  
Airbnb dot org by offering free stays or making recurring donations.

Lastly, we want to let you know Airbnb will be sharing information with Airbnb dot org about your  
previous support of Open Homes or Frontline Stays, so when a crisis strikes, we’re able to contact  
you. Check out Airbnb dot org’s  
link  
privacy policy  
for more information.  
We’ve seen the difference this community can make, one open door at a time.  
I still remember the  
jolt of inspiration I felt reading Shell’s note in my inbox.  
She proved a single email can spark a  
movement, and it’s paramount that the Airbnb dot org team continues to hear from you.  
Reach us at  
together at airbnb dot org   I can’t wait to see where we go next.
