Gritty Giveback

At the Northern Goods Micro Hotel, we’re proud to be anchored by our Gritty Giveback.

Things that get celebrated get repeated. One thing that would make the world better, is more gritty people. So 3x/year… we give a free stay to someone who exemplifies grit.

What is grit you ask? Our favorite definition is by Angela Duckworth, when she says “Grit is passion and perseverance for long term and meaningful goals.”

Every year, we use our property to celebrate and give back to 3 types of folks whose life exemplifies grit.

• Gritty Families: A family that has been through it, but keeps on keeping on.
• Gritty Small Businesses Owners: Someone that meaningfully builds and gives back to their community through their small business.
• Gritty Teacher: Hot take… All teachers are gritty. They’re inherently underpaid and underappreciated.

We celebrate a few of these folks every year by gifting them a free stay, with the hopes that it can play a small role in filling their buckets back up and to encourage them to keep going. 

Know someone worth nominating for a free stay? We would love to have you nominate them here!
