We believe in being Good To The People—it’s our responsibility to the planet and the people to make an impact for progress, inclusivity, equality, sustainability, and social justice. Created to support nonprofit organizations building a just future and a habitable planet, each of the three Good To The People Funds is on track to donate $1 million to its respective area of focus by 2024.
Beyond cause marketing, greenwashing, and donating only when events trend, our philanthropic Funds invest year-round in the nonprofits engineering a just and equitable future. Our grants go to changemaking nonprofit organizations we believe are among the most transparent, innovative, and equity-driven. We’ve been up to a lot since we introduced To The People Fund, To The Future Fund, and To The Planet Fund 11 months ago, so it’s time to check in on those funds and their year-to-date donations by the numbers.
