Donations and Contributions

How YOU can help!

CouchSurfing International is a non-profit organization supported entirely by member donations. Your contributions help pay for the many costs of running CouchSurfing.com, like server hosting, storage, database maintenance, mapping software, and many other costs. You can see a full disclosure of our expenses here on our Organization Finances pages.

As our membership grows so do the costs of running CouchSurfing. Our many volunteers continue to spend many hours on maintaining and further developing the site and we can't do it alone! CouchSurfing is a family and we depend on our members to help keep the organization going and growing.

Help us help YOU!

As a member you have likely had some amazing experiences Surfing and hosting and maybe even saved some money on accommodation and other travel expenses. Please consider contributing to the service that made those experiences possible. Donating to CouchSurfing helps us keep the organization running so that more people have those amazing experiences, too. It helps us all continue to build a better world, one couch at a time.

Size doesn't matter!

Any size donation helps. We recognize the disparity in the global economy and that $25 in the US is a much more considerable amount in some other countries. We've also just created a new way for members to pledge their ongoing support by making an optional monthly contribution. Check it out. We can't do ANY of this without the help and support of members like YOU!
