NEW YORK (AP) — Airbnb on Tuesday donated a total of $10 million to more than 120 nonprofits in 44 countries on six continents, the short-term rental giant's latest outlays in its unusual distribution of $100 million through its Airbnb Community Fund.
“Airbnb has a 21st century company view,” said Janaye Ingram, Airbnb’s director of community partner programs and engagement.
By supporting nonprofits that its hosts find valuable, Airbnb can get more funding to groups that help keep their communities strong, Ingram said.
The board solicited recommendations for nonprofits from the hundreds of Airbnb Host Club leaders around the world.
However, the Airbnb Community Fund is operated separately from that.
