Nashville, Tenn. (July 29, 2016) - Tackling issues such as cyclical poverty, unsafe water, human trafficking and more, The Purpose Hotel is fueling the life changing work of a dozen domestic and international organizations. With renowned photographerJeremy Cowart (Pope Francis, Sting, Carrie Underwood) at the helm, The Purpose Hotel aspires to "change the world in your sleep" through fighting injustices championed by many nonprofit organizations working with the hotel. In the first 48 hours of The Purpose HotelKickstarter launch (July 19), thousands of backers united to support the project through pledging over 10% of the $2 million goal.
"For the last decade, I have been traveling around the world, shooting for, collaborating with, speaking with and meeting incredible nonprofits," Cowart said. "Their founders and teams have become close friends, but I’ve never understood the bigger picture until now. My journey has led my team and I to this moment, where we get the opportunity to help all of them through The Purpose Hotel. What a gift. We could not be more thrilled to move forward on this journey together.”
