WHAT THE FOUNDATION DOES
Through the connections we have through the association, we will use these resources to create awareness and funds to aid the struggling boutique hotel, the student and the artist.
The Boutique Lodging & Lifestyle Association (BLLA) Foundation is the arm of the BLLA dedicated to the advancement of education and charitable ventures.
In order to advance understanding of the boutique and lifestyle section, the BLLA Foundation provides some grants for hospitality industry personnel seeking assistance with hospitality training. Additionally, the Foundation provides ongoing funding for philanthropic efforts that contribute to the education and well-being of communities impacted or supported by the hospitality industry.
We encourage all our members to identify projects in the communities in which they are located and will earmark a percentage of foundation funds as matching funds for member projects.
Charitable organizations we support include:

Funds raised through the sale of WHOLE WORLD Water are re-invested in safe, clean water projects around the world.
