Donate

Help us build a new generation of global citizens.

Your tax-deductible contribution will enable us to provide quality facilities and programs to community members and hostel guests of all ages.

Contributions help:

  • Expand our intercultural programming. From Cultural Kitchen, which uses cooking to promote intercultural awareness among Boston middle-schoolers, to Expand Your World, which brings international films, books, and music to local residents, HI-Boston serves as a base for exploring the world and its people.
  • Introduce travel and environmental stewardship to underserved populations. Our YOUTH Travel Scholarships Program gives low-income Boston-area students the chance to participate in overnight educational programs at our Cape and Island Hostels. For most of these children, who have never seen the ocean or spent a night watching the stars, this is a life-changing experience.
  • Support the design and construction of the new Boston Hostel, enabling travelers and families of all ages and backgrounds to mingle and make friends in the hostel setting.

Donations may be designated for general support or to underwrite a particular program or hostel project. The choice is yours. Whatever its size, please know that your contribution will be appreciated and put to good use.

In addition to one-time and recurring gifts, we welcome other types of donations:

Planned Gifts: If you would like to make a gift of stock or property, or if you are considering a bequest, we can translate your love of hostelling into action.

Matching Gifts: More and more companies of all sizes offer matching gift programs so employees can make a significant positive impact in the local community. Simply ask your human resources department to find out if your company matches gifts.
