Booking a hotel room block? Allow us to handle the research and back and forth with the hotels and present you with the best options - while knowing a charitable donation is being made for every booking.
The Benefit Block is a philanthropic startup at the intersection of charitable giving and no-cost hotel sourcing for your group travel needs. Our mission is to help fund critical causes that improve the world as we know it - while enabling our clients to pursue their love of travel.
Submit your needs below, we'll do the research to find you a hotel, and we'll even negotiate your price for you. Always free of cost.
Our Mission
The Benefit Block is on a mission to fund critical causes that better our world and strengthen our communities - while empowering our clients to pursue their wanderlust dreams.
The Benefit Block is differentiated from other hotel room block websites, not only by our mission to fund critical causes that better our world, but because every quote is personally negotiated for you on your behalf - ensuring your group is getting the best value possible.
We achieve this at the intersection of travel, exploration, and charitable giving by donating 50% of the proceeds of our business to the charity you select on each booking. Our services are provided on a completely complimentary basis as our organization covers its costs through a commission/rebate collected directly from our vendors.
Our Process
Upon submission of your booking request form:
- One of our reservations partners will send you an email confirmation of the request within 1 business day.
- Hotel options will be provided via email within the two business days following your confirmation of request.
- You will then select the hotel you would like to move forward with (options are valid for one week).
- You will then receive confirmation of your group block, be introduced to your on-site hotel contact, and a booking link for your room block will be provided within the coming days. You're good to go!

Questions
Question: Can I, and my guests, still receive hotel rewards points by booking through The Benefit Block?
