elderly, the unemployed, families, children, and those dealing with the psychological effects of war. The work we do is vital. Our grants provide hardship relief, mobility assistance, home modifications, educational support, annuities, home

1% for the Planet
Business must be a force for change, if environmental challenges are to be overcome. - Peter Robinson
1% for the Planet exists to build and support an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet. Not long ago, a mountain climber and a fisherman realized they had a lot more in common than a disdain for wearing a suit to work. Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, were also passionate environmentalists that happened to be running successful businesses. More important, they understood it was good business to protect the natural resources that kept them in business. And the rest is history...
1% FOR THE PLANET is a global alliance of companies committed to investing 1% of their annual revenues to campaigns for clean air, pure water, safe food and wild places. Last year 1,250 companies gave $15 million to hundreds of organizations.
To keep building this movement, we need your financial support. We’ll use it to reach out to even more companies, ensuring that groups with a vision for sustainability have the resources they need - year after year - to keep working for a healthy planet.
