THE RECEIVING PROCESS

In an effort to keep things simple, we require that environmental organizations receive their donations directly from member companies. We let them work together to determine how much—and at what point during the year—money is received. Fostering these relationships is beneficial to both parties as they work together to make a difference. 1% for the Planet does not serve as an intermediary in this process. We just ensure the Earth is the ultimate beneficiary.
