1% for the Planet (1%) represents a global network of businesses, individuals and environmental organizations tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues. Its core purpose is to inspire commitment and action so that our planet and future generations thrive. They do this through their mission of accelerating smart environmental giving. 1% serves as a connector, certifier and amplifier, not a grantor, and their business members engage directly with vetted environmental partners, providing monetary donations, volunteer time, in-kind donations and other forms of certifiable support. In this way they simultaneous leverage the impact of the corporate donors and increase the capacity of the nonprofit service providers. 

Pennywise supports 1%'s Environmental Partners Team who carefully vet organizations to ensure that 1% partners have had a proven, positive impact on the environment. This work often intersects with social issues like education, gender equality, land rights, poverty and social justice. Like Pennywise, 1% recognizes the value of working at the intersection of social justice issues. They believe that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reducing inequality and spurring economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working to restore ecosystems. They also seek to foster consecutive, multi-year partnerships between members and partners, reflecting yet another Pennywise priority.
