TURN YOUR VACATION INTO A GIFT TO THE PLANET

Every Stay Gives Back is a pioneering, women-and-veteran-owned impact program that seamlessly integrates charitable giving into the travel experience. With every stay at a participating hotel—regardless of booking method—a portion of the revenue is directed toward vetted local charities supporting critical causes such as wildlife conservation, food security, disaster relief, environmental restoration, and more

Every dollar is measured and shared with guests through traveler-friendly impact dashboards; guests can track how their stay directly contributes to these causes—ensuring transparency, fostering connection and education, and inspiring travelers to leave a positive footprint by encouraging additional ways to travel kindly.
