How to fund your project using Fairbnb.coop
Fairbnb.coop, like other booking platforms, “ask for a fee!“
UNlike all the other platforms, we share it with the locals.
If you care about a community project, submit it! There are no projects too big or too small to be funded: sustainability-focused activities, local initiatives promoting fair and circular economy, solidarity and cultural projects, and anything else that can have a positive impact on your community.


How it works
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
To be eligible for funding, projects must meet the following criteria:
Be intended to help residents and/or promote sustainability;
Be linked to the same community/location where the guest/funder will travel to;
The recipient of the grants will have to be a legal entity that will provide accountability and inform the platform and the funders on the state of the project.
HOW ARE COMMUNITY PROJECTS SELECTED?
At this early stage, community projects are evaluated case by case by our local contacts and partners. However, our goal in the near future is to involve the local nodes during the selection and validation process of the community projects.
MAXIMUM TRANSPARENCY
Social projects are funded exclusively by us on behalf of the Guests, using half of our commission on each booking. Hosts receive exactly the required rent amount.
The process

PREPARE THE NEEDED INFO
Collect high resolution imagery of your activity including eventual logo, branding, events and meetup pictures, slides and presentations, facts and figures sheets and, if already available, some shots of the actual implementation of the project. Create a compelling and explanatory text with details about your project and why it is important for your community.

SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT
Use this form or send us an email to info@fairbnb.coop – we’ll then arrange a meeting or schedule an introductory video chat with you so we can get to know you, the significance of your project, and learn why you want to join us on our journey.

YOUR PROJECT WILL BE PUBLISHED
It’s now time to share the project page on your website or social media, in order to spread the word and collect the funding faster!

GUESTS WILL FUND YOUR PROJECT
Our guests will book their stay and choose to fund your project. Some may wish to visit the project they have decided to fund, please let us know during your submission if you wish or can receive visits.
