Support Hostelling
Hostelling International USA (HI-USA) relies on individual contributions, corporate donations and foundation funding to support our many educational programs and hostels. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law (see below). We welcome your gifts. You can contribute in many ways:
- Designated Gifts: Your contribution can be earmarked for a particular hostel or program, for example, the hostel in Chicago, or Opening Doors, Opening Minds programs.
- Planned Gifts: If you would like to make a gift of stock or property, or if you are considering a bequest, HI-USA can translate your love of hostelling into action with a legacy gift.
- Matching Gifts: Your gift to support hostelling can do even more when your employer matches your gift. Check with your human resource department and see if your employer has a matching gift program.
- Combined Federal Campaign/United Way Campaigns: If your workplace participates in state or national Combined Federal Campaigns, consider a payroll deduction to HI-USA. Look for our CFC number under HI-USA.
