Ways to Give
Hostelling International-USA (HI-USA) relies on individual contributions, corporate donations and foundation funding to support its many educational programs and hostel development. We are a nonprofit organization 501( c ) ( 3 ) and all donations are tax-deductible.
You can contribute in the following ways:
Designated Gifts: Your contribution can be earmarked for a particular hostel or program, for example, the hostel in Point Loma, or the Cultural Kitchen youth program.
Planned Gifts: If you would like to make a gift of stock or property, or if you are considering a bequest, HI-USA can translate your love of hostelling into action.
Matching Gifts: Your gift to support hostelling can do even more when your employer matches your gift. Check with your human resource department and see if your employer has a matching gift program.
Combined Federal Campaign/United Way Campaigns: If your workplace participates in state or national Combined Federal Campaigns, consider a payroll deduction to HI-USA.
We are a United Way/CHAD Certified Agency. Our United Way number is 6326.

Now you can help HI-USA, San Diego Council and the San Diego Hostels just
by buying your groceries!
HI-USA, San Diego Council is partnering with Ralph's and Food for Less
Supermarkets to raise funds for our Youth Education and Outreach Programs.
Supporting the San Diego Hostels has never been easier.
Participation is easy. By simply registering your Ralph's and/or Food for Less Card with HI-USA, San Diego Council (San Diego Council), every time you swipe your card at the register, the San Diego Council receives a donation of up to 5% of your total retail purchases.
Imagine, supporting your favorite non-profit just by doing your weekly
grocery shopping.
Here is how its works:
Visit any Ralph's Store or Food for Less Store* or log on to www.ralphs.com or www.food4less.com and sign up for a card today!
Your Club Card number is the 13-digit number printed on the back of your card. This number is also printed on the bottom of your receipts, when you use your card at the register.
All we need is your Club Card number, Name, Address and Telephone and soon your shopping dollars will be helping young people discover the educational value of hostelling. 100% of the contributions received through this campaign will be designated to our Youth Education and Outreach Programs.
Please fill out the application form below.
We will take care of the rest. Once your enrollment is activated, your next shopping trip may be the beginning of a new journey for a local student.
Contact me with any questions about this campaign or our Youth Education and Outreach programs. My phone number is 619-338-9981 or you can email me at programs@sandiegohostels.org.
I look forward to hearing from you.
