**AirBnB is offering its Social Impact Experiences in the UK, which give local non-
profits the opportunity to reach new audiences and raise money by offering activities
to AirBnB guests.**

 

[AirBnB Social Impact Experiences](https://www.airbnb.co.uk/s/London--United-Kingdom/experiences?experience_social_good_only=true)
are currently available in London in the UK, and in more than 30 cities globally.
Experiences have to be approved by AirBnB but non-profits can offer experiences 
as often as they like, and can also choose the location, host, and price. Hosts 
can be anyone from volunteers, employees, or board members of a registered non-profit.
Once approved, experiences appears on Airbnb’s website and in its mobile apps, searchable
under the Social Impact category with each one also displaying a Social Impact ribbon.

AirBnB has also waived booking fees on Social Impact Experiences so all proceeds
go directly to the non-profit, and proposals for new experiences are welcomed. Non-
profits that wish to offer an experience must be registered organisations and must
meet [AirBnB’s specific criteria](https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/1578/what-are-the-eligibility-requirements-for-hosting-a-social-impact-experience).
AirBnB is working with the [Tech Trust](https://tech-trust.org/) in the UK to manage
the process.

 

On the AirBnB site, guests are invited to: _‘Go on experiences with knowledgeable
hosts from local nonprofits and get to know their causes, like sustainable living
and local artisan movements. 100% of what you pay goes directly to the organisations.’_
