A CARING COMMUNITY IN SUPPORT OF CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENTAL NONPROFITS.
EARTH GIVES
The most successful giving day raised nearly $60 million in 24 hours. Giving Tuesday generated half a billion in online giving in 2020.
The damage to our planet is already burdening our political and economic systems, but these stresses will grow exponentially in the coming years — ravaging the lives of our children and their children for many generations unless we act to mitigate climate change now. One needn’t believe that global warming will cause the
end of civilization as we know it to recognize the crushing
demands it will put on our physical, economic, political, and
social systems, with devastating consequences for everyone.
– LARRY KRAMER, PRESIDENT, HEWLETT FOUNDATION
Yet, as great as the threats are, environmental organizations - representing millions of staff, volunteers, board members and donors -
receive only 3% of total charitable giving. (Giving USA)

The inaugural nationwide launch through the giving day platform at EarthGives.org is planned for October 7, 2021. EARTH GIVES will grow more than revenues. It will grow actionable and impactful opportunities to collaborate, innovate, educate, and inspire citizens across the country to be an active part of the solution and to alter the trajectory of the climate crisis. The mission of EARTH GIVES is to catalyze people, resources, and attention toward the climate crisis resulting in a welcoming and livable world where humanity and the planet thrive.
We are now seeking seed capital and partnerships from businesses and individuals that align with the urgency of this initiative. Committed partners will work with us to inspire people to engage and move toward transformation. The opportunities for founding partners are included here. Your commitment has the potential to generate a significant ripple effect across thousands of environmental organizations, the communities they serve, and the people who benefit from their important work. The time is now. Please join us in this endeavor.
“The climate crisis is the largest threat to every single person and living thing on this planet. We must make sure that we include everyone in our solutions because everyone needs to be uplifted.” – Nadia Nazar, founder, co-executive director & art director, Zero Hour
BE PART OF THE START… It’s beyond time to up the investment in environmental solutions - first through philanthropy and individual giving - and then through sustained mindful shifts in consumer habits and engagement.
EARTH GIVES is our strategy and your opportunity to have a profound impact on the most consequential issue of our time – the climate crisis. EARTH GIVES DAY is a 24-hour catalyzing event using a proven platform to unite businesses, nonprofits, philanthropists, and the public in a time-constrained, highly publicized, highly inspired effort to drive resources and attention to overlooked environmental nonprofits.

Seed Investors/Sponsors
The Benefits of Seed Investment
A lead position in a nationwide
collaborative effort that will
reach millions of individuals
connected to the thousands
of nonprofit organizations and
the communities they serve – a
direct to consumer messaging
platform leveraged by and through
the nonprofits engaged in the
initiative.
Placement and
acknowledgement as one of the
inaugural companies that made
the initiative possible, with the
ability to highlight the impacts and
ripple effects of your investment to
key stakeholders.
The opportunity to leverage
involvement in EARTH GIVES with
employees for the purposes of
culture and relationship-building
- for example, through contests,
learning labs, and enhanced
retention and recruitment
strategies. Special “business pages”
are available on the platform
to engage your employees and
customers as well.
A seat on the EARTH GIVES
Advisory Board.
The opportunity to serve as
a spokesperson and champion for
EARTH GIVES efforts that might
include participation in the launch
announcement, earned media,
and special video messages to
the participating nonprofits,
among others.
Input on messaging,
positioning and business
brand integration with
EARTH GIVES activities.
EARTH GIVES
Partners There are several needs and
opportunities presented in this
initiative and its potential reach
and impact. We welcome other
individuals and organizations
who align with our intent to build
a more caring and connected
community of change. This might
mean support for messaging,
outreach, PR, advertising, content
development, ambassadors for the
cause, and other options.
Philanthropic ‘Prize fund’ donor Typically raised through
individuals, foundations and grant
dollars, this investment is used to
“incentivize” nonprofits to
participate and heighten their
efforts to promote the giving day
to their communities and circle of
influence. A “leaderboard” of sorts
is established with a number of
categories, depending on the size
of the total fund, or the interest of
the specific funder. While typical
giving days always have prize
dollars for “most donors” or “most
dollars” raised, other categories
can support specific efforts.
Examples include: most dollars
and donors generated for large,
medium and smaIl nonprofits; best
duo of large and small nonprofits
who team up to help one another
through shared messages;
those impacting underserved
communities; science/climate
education for youth; internships/
jobs/summer jobs; community
engagement/volunteer mobilizing/
organizing; environmental justice;
Tribal lands; Pollution; Ocean;
Wildlife; Agriculture/Farming/Soil;
among others.
Media partners Our intent is to engage all media
to share the message for 1-2 weeks
prior to the event and throughout
the designated day. There are
important audiences to reach out
to through key media partners that
are important for business seed
investors, and other engagement
for a B2C ecosystem.
Swag Partners We seek business who will support
the production of Earth Gives
sustainable swag that can be
ordered by nonprofits and donors,
generating revenue for Earth Gives
and advancing the brand and the
message as an Earth Giver. This
are additional opportunities for a
business partnership in this area –
one that is focused on products for
the more conscious consumer.
