Q: What is community project that can be supported through Fairbnb.coop?

Community projects are those implemented by local or national organizations that** contribute to achieving the local nodes' sustainable goals** and are funded through the re-distribution of the platform fees. Fairbnb.coop gives 50% of its fee paid by our users as their donations back to the destinations where they travel to contribute to the implementation of the community project by their choice. In their kind, community projects funded through our platform should be social, cultural, or environmental and aligned with <a href="https://www.globalgoals.org/">Sustainable Development Goals</a> (SDGs). LN Ambassadors are required to identify the first project for the node's activation and assist them in the application process. In the future, when the Ambassador manages to gather the community of hosts, activists, local authorities representatives, and others, that community gets to decide on the needs of the local node and choose the projects of their interest. If there are hosts within the country whose areas haven't been managed by the LN Ambassadors yet, but there is a National Coordinator for the specific country, they are in charge of finding national projects and guiding them through the application process.

Question 4

Where and how can I check if I match criteria for being a host in my location?

Accepted Answer

The best way to learn about your local node criteria for the hosts is to check Fairbnb.coop Community Page and click on your territory on the map. If you are still unsure whether you fit the criteria, please get in touch with your LN Ambassador. You can use the contact details listed on your local node Community Page or a contact form.

||| Is your location not pinned on the map?

In that case, we still don't have our referent person/ambassador there, and the destination is not active. If you want to be one, learn about the role and express your interest by sending the email to info@fairbnb.coop.
