My name is Nikki Mattei and I've been part of the short-term rental industry since 2017 - as a host, a marketer and a sustainability advocate.
I've also worked in the charity sector for many years of my career and I've been looking for a way to empower the STR industry to create a culture of giving back.
I'm setting up this charity, Stays with Purpose, to make it easy for property managers and agencies to empower their guests to donate to nature and community projects in the destinations that host them.
In this way, all levels of the industry can be involved and create responsible and "human" brands as a way to encourage direct bookings. All with minimal time and cost investment with no extra charges to property owners.

I'm in the process of registering Stays with Purpose with The Charity Commission in the UK. However, we will be able to accept members and donate to projects in the rest of Europe as well as the UK.
In the meantime, I'm collecting a waitlist of property managers and agencies who are interested in becoming Members as well as enlisting PMS partners.
Until the charity is registered, I'm collecting this data in accordance with GDPR via my own marketing business. I will only contact you about Stays with Purpose and not share your details with any third parties.
