JBK Creatives is a small, female-owned business devoted to preserving and uplifting human dignity in our communities. With the world’s political, economic, and ecological climate in mind, now more than ever, it’s critical for organizations to use their platforms to support others. We understand that words without actions are harmful, and strive to ensure that this business aligns with actions that directly support communities in need. For us, this is not simply a check-the-box mentality, but an opportunity for us to make the world a better place to live - to build spaces that are safe, inclusive, and encouraging.
At JBK Creatives, this starts with our core value of "do no harm”. With that as our north star, we commit to:
Lead with Compassion
Protect Marginalized Communities
Support Those in Need
Give Back Where We Can
We acknowledge that at times we will fail, but our commitment to strive for excellence in these areas is foundational to our work as short-term rental managers, and critical to protecting the communities where we live and work.
Here are a few of the organizations we currently support, and in the spirit of fostering deeper connections, we invite you to learn more about them as well.

Together, we can rise above adversity to create a world where every person can live in peace, thrive in their passions, and connect with their community.
“Dominator culture has tried to keep us all afraid, to make us choose safety instead of risk, sameness instead of diversity. Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, revelling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community.” - Bell Hooks
