What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Environmental giving comprises just 3% of total U.S. philanthropy. And it's been stuck at that paltry percentage of total charitable giving for more than a decade, during which time the urgency of environmental issues has only increased. For example, wild species are going extinct at a rate up to 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. The need for urgent and increased environmental giving is great. At 1% for the Planet, we are entirely focused on increasing the amount and quality of giving going to the important environmental issues of our time. In addition, in today's hyper-connected world, there is, at times, too much information at our fingertips. People are inundated with data, reports, posts, blogs, videos—information is everywhere. The real challenge is in making sense of this information. What is relevant and what is noise? Where is the data coming from and can it be trusted? Wrestling with these questions can sometimes lead to paralysis and a lack of action.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We aim to accomplish increased environmental giving. We believe that philanthropy, as it stands today, isn't sufficient to support the scale and quality of work that needs to happen for our planet. In the U.S., the percentage of total philanthropy allocated to the environment has been stuck at a mere 3% for years, and innovative nonprofits struggle to stay viable, let alone bring solutions to scale. We know that it's possible to do better. We believe that businesses, nonprofits and individuals can collectively come together to take responsibility for our planet in innovative and newly integrated ways, accelerating smart environmental giving and driving positive impact.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Through our Business Membership program, we engage businesses to drive increased giving to our environmental partners. We do this by certifying their giving of 1% of their annual sales to vetted nonprofits in our network. We support these members with our Partnership Advising services, enabling them to develop giving strategies that amplify the scale and impact of their engagement. As we connect the value of strategic environmental giving with the urgent need for greater investment in environmental solutions, we strengthen and expand the case for smart philanthropy, thereby growing the movement for a healthier planet.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Operationally, the global work of 1% for the Planet is delivered by a lean and committed staff headquartered in Burlington, Vermont. Our model is intentionally based upon leveraging every dollar that comes to us to generate maximum resources the planet. We are effective and efficient, driving a bold vision and achieving consistent results.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since 2002, we have been successful in building a network of businesses, individuals and environmental nonprofit partners, resulting in a global community of thousands of engaged stakeholders. To date, our members have given millions of dollars directly to our environmental partners. Every day, more members join our growing movement for a healthier planet.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
