We at Global Ocean Health are thrilled to announce that we are now officially a nonprofit partner of 1% for the Planet. This laudable program represents a global network of businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations tackling our planet’s most pressing environmental issues. Nonprofit partners are individually approved after a request from an existing network member.

In this case we’d like to give a big thank you to AlkaViva and its CEO Jay Hare, who brought us into the 1% for the Planet fold and are generously donating to support Global Ocean Health.

AlkaViva offers water filtration systems, ionizers, and tools to ensure healthy drinking water.

 

Here’s how 1% for the Planet works:

  • Join: Business members join the 1% 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 nonprofits.

  • Advise: 1% for the Planet provides partnership advising, pairing members with environmental nonprofits that align with their values, their brand and that make the biggest impact possible.

  • Donate: Business members support their nonprofit partner(s) directly—no intermediary necessary, forging meaningful relationships between 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, 1% program members have invested over $250 million in environmental nonprofit solutions through the 1% for the Planet network.

If you’re already a member of 1% for the Planet and would like to donate to our program — or are interested in becoming a member — let us know. We are also listed in their directory. You’ll be able to use their branding on your website and products, etc, as well as the assurance of knowing you’re working with pre-approved nonprofits that are doing work to improve the planet. You can choose multiple organizations to give to, or give exclusively.
