donate to 1% for the Planet
Care is good. Commitment is best.
You care about the planet. Today, you can turn that care into real impact.
When you donate to 1% for the Planet, you help grow a global movement that makes environmental giving the standard, not the exception, for businesses everywhere.
Since 2002, our network of businesses and individuals has generated more than $863 million in environmental giving to support nonprofits protecting our planet.
And your support multiplies that impact.
For every $1 you donate, you help unlock $13 in environmental giving across our global network.
That means your gift doesn’t just support our work. It drives real, measurable outcomes. From helping Environmental Partners SolarBuddy reach over 337,000 people with clean energy, to protecting 350,000+ sea turtle hatchlings with WildAid, your support contributes to tangible environmental change worldwide.
And instead of just funding one project, you’re nourishing the entire ecosystem that directs millions of business dollars toward the planet.
This Earth Month, we’re inviting people who care about the planet to turn that care into commitment by becoming monthly donors.
Our goal this Earth Month: 35 new recurring donors
