## Summary

Airbnb.org, Airbnb’s nonprofit arm providing free temporary housing to people in need, held its first gala in Los Angeles, drawing a large group of entertainment and sports figures. The event promoted a new funding initiative and plans to broaden the charity’s work beyond emergency disaster accommodation.

Airbnb says it will contribute a portion of revenue from every stay, aiming to provide Airbnb.org with $500 million over five years. The organisation hopes to offer one million free housing nights annually; since its 2020 founding, it has provided 1.6 million nights and responded to more than 200 disasters in 2026. The expanded support is intended to include families travelling for medical care and survivors leaving domestic violence.
