Charities that I Believe In
World Environment
Environmental Defense Fund www.EDF.org
One of the world’s top environmental organizations. We deliver bold solutions that cut harmful pollution and strengthen the ability of people and nature to thrive — even with the changes to the climate we feel right now. And science still guides everything we do.
Arbor Day Foundation www.arborday.org
Science shows us where trees are needed most. Then, with shovels or support, our global network plants the right trees in the right places. We connect the world’s largest network of tree planting organizations, people, partners, and ambitions — so we can all plant for a better world.
Wildlife
World Wildlife Fund www.worldwildlife.org
Our mission is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. To deliver this mission, we work to conserve and restore biodiversity, the web that supports all life on Earth; to reduce humanity's environmental footprint; and to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources to support current and future generations.
Defenders of Wildlife www.defenders.org
Defenders of Wildlife is the premier U.S.-based national conservation organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of imperiled species and their habitats in North America. Just as our name says – we defend wildlife. Our team of policy, legal, science and advocacy experts work at every level to transform policies and craft solutions for wildlife.
National Audubon Society www.audubon.org
For 120 years and counting, the National Audubon Society has preserved bird habitats, conducted scientific research, influenced policymakers to enact commonsense conservation laws, and engaged communities across the hemisphere to protect the natural resources upon which birds—and we—depend. By "bending the bird curve," we are working to halt, and ultimately reverse, the decline of birds across the Americas.
World Wildlife Fund www.worldwildlife.org
Our mission is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. To deliver this mission, we work to conserve and restore biodiversity, the web that supports all life on Earth; to reduce humanity's environmental footprint; and to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources to support current and future generations.
American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals www.aspca.org
The ASPCA has been at the forefront of animal rescue and protection since our founding as the first animal welfare organization in North America in 1866. For 160 years, we have been the leading voice in animal welfare, bringing the critical protection of animals to the forefront of society.
We’ve led the way in fighting cruelty, rescuing and securing adoptions for animals in need, and driving significant legislative change that protects their lives and welfare — ultimately transforming how Americans value and care for animals.
