Airbnb is proud to announce the latest recipients of grants from the Airbnb Community Fund, including Sungai Watch. Sungai Watch is an environmental organization in Indonesia focused on tackling plastic pollution in rivers. This funding will support Sungai Watch's vital efforts to address waste management challenges and improve the health of Indonesia's water environments.
Launched in 2020, the Airbnb Community Fund is a $100 million initiative aimed at directly supporting local communities and their residents. Each year, Airbnb provides grants to organizations that strengthen communities worldwide, often collaborating with local hosts in these areas.
Every year, Airbnb partners with hosts to identify important issues and deserving nonprofit organizations for grant funding. Airbnb hosts are closely connected to their communities, and by involving them in this process, Airbnb aims to ensure that the funds make a meaningful local impact. As in previous years, hosts play a key role in directing a significant portion of the grant funds.
Amanpreet Bajaj, Country Head of Airbnb Southeast Asia and India, stated, "At Airbnb, we believe in the power of community and are proud to support Sungai Watch in their mission to reduce plastic pollution and protect Indonesia's rivers. Their commitment to sustainable environmental practices and community-based solutions aligns perfectly with our values, and this funding will help expand their initiatives. The Airbnb Community Fund is dedicated to empowering organizations that drive meaningful change, and we are excited to support their journey toward a cleaner and more sustainable future."
