Industry Contributions
It’s no surprise the hospitality industry is, well, hospitable. But you may be surprised at all that we’ve
accomplished together to better our industry and the communities around us.
 
According to the Quiet Good, a research study funded by AH&LEF in 2005, 98% of hotel properties and
96% of hotel corporations make charitable donations each year. On average, this accounts for 3.6% of
profits and yields a whopping $877 million annually.
 
Charitable donations include monetary, food & beverage, meeting space, audio/visual, linens, and staff
volunteering, reflecting the magnitude of services hotels provide on a daily basis.
 
And this is just the beginning. We invite you to learn more about the people and organizations that ensure
our industry has viable future, protect our best interests on Capitol Hill, and insist on social responsibility 
from every angle.
