1% for the Planet is a global movement inspiring businesses to support environmental solutions through annual memberships and everyday actions. We advise on giving strategies, we certify donations and we amplify the impact of our network.
Put simply: we bring people together to increase smart environmental giving.
While there are many ways to give back, 1% for the Planet also provides opportunities through the business membership program, which garners additional value and opportunity to those committed to supporting our planet.
1% for the Planet was founded on the model of our business membership program: responsible businesses giving back to Environmental Partners to create a healthier planet.
Here’s how it works:
Join: Business members join our network, committing to donate the equivalent of 1% of gross sales through a combination of monetary, in-kind and approved promotional support directly to Environmental Partners.
Advise: 1% for the Planet provides partnership advising, pairing members with Environmental Partners that align with their values, their brand and that make the biggest impact possible.
Donate: Business members support their Environmental Partner(s) directly—no intermediary necessary! In fact, we will help you forge meaningful relationships with your partners.
Certify: 1% for the Planet certifies all member donations—legitimizing members’ commitment by reviewing and confirming sales and donation details annually.
It’s that easy—and also incredibly effective. To date, our members have given over $435 million in environmental solutions through the 1% for the Planet network.
Easy, effective and…accessible! We believe that everyone has a 1%. We offer flexible giving options to ensure feasibility for members.
We guide each business member every step of the way with our partnership advising, because thriving partnerships help deliver longer-term support and greater impact.
The urgent issues facing our planet need so much more than they’re currently receiving. Today, only 3% of philanthropy goes toward environmental giving. Through our business memberships, our goal is to significantly increase the overall amount of global dollars going to help protect the planet with the smartest donations possible.
