What is it?
Each year we choose 3 new organizations to support; we donate 1% of our yearly profits to each one.We try to mix up our choices from among local, national, and international organizations and among different causes.
How do we choose?
- We look for an innovative approach that is working at the root level of an issue.
- We look for a proven track record of effective impact.
- We value approaches that are holistic and empowering.
