If you’re attending

campaign to offset any spending in

California that doesn’t
align with your values by supporting local charities that do.
When you travel, every purchase you make generates tax revenue for a state government. That revenue may contribute to governmental policies that don't align with your values. Giving to a local charity working towards the equity goals you care about can help balance the scale. Every dollar counts, please give what you can.
How much should you give ?
When you travel, every purchase you make generates tax revenue for a government that may make (or fail to make) policies that don’t align with your values. Giving to a local charity working towards the equity goals you care about can help balance the scale. What should you give? Based on ISHLT’s estimated spend per Leadership Meeting attendee and Florida’s state tax rate, SocialOffset suggested an offset contribution of $35 or more.
This is based on the following information:
11% per hotel room night (Florida’s state tax rate of 6%, and 1% tax for Pinellas County, and 5% tourist development tax)
7% sales tax per meal or beverage (Florida’s state tax rate of 6%, and 1% tax for Pinellas County)
