The one-dollar-a-week model

A small contribution.
A meaningful difference at scale.

A voluntary dollar each week may feel modest. Across thousands of hotel and restaurant employees, supported by employer matching, it can help a coworker find safe housing after a fire, remain employed through a transportation emergency or protect a family during a medical crisis.

$104 in annual relief fundingA $1 weekly employee contribution combined with a 1:1 employer match would place $104 per year into the relief pool.

A giving model built around choice

Simple participation, clear separation and visible collective impact.

$1

Voluntary payroll giving

Participating employees choose a small after-tax deduction through payroll and may change or stop it at any time.

2x

Employer matching

Participating companies increase the value of employee contributions through a documented match, annual cap and remittance commitment.

+

Direct contributions

Employees outside participating companies, hospitality leaders and other supporters will be able to contribute through an approved online process.

Giving is never the price of receiving help.
An employee who has never contributed will be reviewed under the same eligibility standards as a donor. Contribution amount will not influence a grant decision.
