Hotel Zed will be matching up to $25,000 in donations to the volunteer-powered charity Good Night Out until December 31, 2024.

At Hotel Zed, we’re celebrating our partnership with Good Night Out for a game-changing campaign that makes crowdfunding sexy. Starting November 30, the International Day of Consent, we’re matching all donations to Good Night Out up to $25,000 until the end of 2024. Join us in helping to create a safer, more inclusive nightlife for everyone.

Why Consent Matters to Us

As a sex-positive brand, we’ve always encouraged sexual expression. Remember our cheeky Valentine’s Nooner campaigns? However, we also recognize that true sex positivity depends on a foundation of consent and safety. That’s why we’re passionate about supporting Good Night Out’s mission to prevent sexual violence in nightlife and hospitality sectors.

The Consent Gap

Here’s a sobering fact: according to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, less than half of Canadians fully understand the legal definition of consent. This knowledge gap is precisely why organizations like Good Night Out are so crucial. Since 2016, they’ve been on the front lines, running Street Teams in entertainment districts and hosting educational workshops for venues.

Our Commitment to Safety

As hotel owners, we know firsthand how vital safety is in hospitality spaces. Mandy Farmer, our founder and CEO, puts it best: “Good Night Out is a grassroots organization dedicated to exactly that, and we’ve been proud to support their efforts for the last three years.” We’re on a roll and have every intention of ramping up our efforts!

Join Us in Making a Difference

Now, we’re inviting you to be part of this important initiative. Your donation will have double the impact, thanks to our matching contribution. Together, we can create a culture where consent isn’t just understood — it’s celebrated.

How You Can Help

Ready to make a difference? Here’s what you can do:

  1. Mark your calendar for November 30th, when our campaign kicks off.

  2. Visit Good Night Out’s donation page to contribute to the cause.

Remember, every dollar you give is a step towards safer nights out for all.

Looking Ahead
