Proper Hospitality Employee Relief Fund (Proper Hotels, Hotel June, Avalon Hotels & the Ingleside Inn)
These are uncharted waters for all of us. At Proper, we’re navigating this moment as best we can, treating a worldwide crisis with the urgency it demands while continuing to be a support system at home for our Proper team and community.
We are deeply saddened by the huge impact this has had on the livelihood of our team as we continue to make the challenging decisions in front of us. As part of the local mandates and to protect the safety of our guests and staff, we have had to significantly reduce or shut down our businesses, which has resulted in the temporary furlough of many colleagues during this crisis. The Proper team is the heart and soul of our operation, the magic that makes our properties so special, and we are truly heartbroken for the impact that this is having on them and all others affected in the hospitality industry and beyond. We’re guided as a company by the notion that everyone deserves to live well — especially our hardworking Proper colleagues — and we’re doing our best to make decisions that consider the short-term urgency while securing a long-term foundation for our team to come home to.
We are actively working on different ways to offer support to everyone who has been impacted across our properties, starting with our: Proper Hospitality Employee Relief Fund. This fund was seeded by Proper Hospitality executives and by Proper Giving, our non-profit arm whose mission is to donate 1% of our time, hotel space, and management fees from every Proper Hospitality-managed property toward the betterment of their surrounding communities. We are now opening it to you, our extended community, to help reach our goal.
100% of the donations will go toward alleviating financial stress for the members of our team whose jobs have been temporarily lost as a result of the Coronavirus crisis, and who are struggling to maintain basic human needs.
If you have ever enjoyed an experience staying or dining with us at one of our Proper Hospitality hotels, and have the means to give at this time, we ask you to donate below help our team during these unprecedented times.
We started Proper to be a home base for creative nomads and global travelers, a place to bring together a community inspired by the possibilities of the world around us. Difficult times teach us new ways to connect and encourage us to support what we value. We are in the industry of caring for each other: now, more than ever, this is paramount.
Wishing you all health and safety — we’re so grateful for your support today, and your trust over the years. When this passes, we will be ready to welcome you all back with open arms. Anything less just wouldn't be proper.
With gratitude,
Brian De Lowe
