HostRooster Social Impact Experience Policy – Societal

Eligibility to Host

Social impact hosts can be individuals associated with nonprofit organizations, including staff, board members, contractors, volunteers, or supporters who possess expertise in the work of the nonprofit and have the consent of the organization.

The nonprofit organization itself must be registered as an NGO/nonprofit, and all eligibility criteria will be determined by our registered trademark brand, Societal.

International nonprofits operating in Cuba are welcome to apply to the experiences program. Additionally, Community Interest Companies registered in the UK may also be eligible. For these specific categories, please contact societal@hostrooster.com due to a separate verification process.

Ineligible Hosts

Certain organizations are not eligible to host social impact experiences on HostRooster through Societal. These include:

1. Religious or belief organizations, except when the activities being sponsored are non-sectarian, such as soup kitchens or shelters, and are open to all faiths.
2. Organizations that discriminate or have exclusionary practices based on religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other diversity-related issues.
3. Political or lobbying organizations.
4. Fraternities/sororities and certain advocacy and mutual benefit organizations.

Getting Started as a Host – Societal

If you have a personal HostRooster account, you’ll need to sign out and create a new account specifically for your organization. If you already have an existing HostRooster account for your organization, you can use that account to create your social impact experience through Societal.

For new Social Impact hosts using the Societal brand, follow these steps:

1. Confirm your organization’s eligibility with Societal.
2. Add a profile picture that represents the hosts who will be conducting the experiences. Profile pictures should not feature the logo of the nonprofit organization.
3. Add the organization’s bank information as a payout method. Since HostRooster waives 50% of fees for Social Impact experiences through Societal, 50% of the proceeds are paid directly to the nonprofit through this payout method. If your organization requires a fiscal sponsor, ensure that the fiscal sponsor completes this process.
4. Submit your experience and wait for the approval notification.
5. Once approved, contact us with the following information:
