EarthShare’s new platform for giving brings Fintech to environmental philanthropy

WASHINGTON , March 28, 2023 /CSRwire/ — EarthShare’s newly released platform for giving makes environmental philanthropy easier and more accessible to everyday consumers. That includes YOU.

Our new platform enables users, regardless of income level, to create donor-advised funding accounts with no minimums and directly support approved environmental organizations across a wide range of issue areas. With an emphasis on education and collaboration, users are introduced to local nonprofits in their area, as well as groups across the United States whose missions and advocacy focus areas align with their goals and interests.

The platform showcases our deeply vetted Nonprofit Partner network, educational content, volunteer opportunities, tools to easily measure and reduce environmental impact, and it will have the flexibility for donors to recommend grants to any 501(c)(3) organization.

The purpose of this platform? To imagine how people engage in the environmental movement through collective action at an individual level. To date, leveraging donor-advised funding has been limited to a core few – those with significant amounts of both disposable income and time to give to the planet. That changes today.

You don’t have to be rich to do something good for the planet. You just have to care.

Alongside the launch of the platform, EarthShare also announced the rollout of its first ever membership offering for individuals. For $25 a year, people interested in supporting environmental initiatives can become part of a rapidly growing community of like-minded individuals, nonprofits, and businesses with the common goal of creating a more just and sustainable planet. This membership includes access to the EarthShares Giving Platform.

EarthShare CEO Brad Leibov shared, “We envision a world where everyone takes action for our planet. Whether the action is big or small, it’s about building a movement of support that’s accessible, inclusive and built for scale. Now more than any Once again, positive impact will be readily available to anyone who wants to be part of a growing community of dedicated environmentalists, donors and those just starting to get involved.”

EarthShare leads this initiative with a 35-year history of supporting environmental nonprofits and the critical work they do. Our network of approved environmental organizations includes 500 local, national and international organizations, from large and well-known nonprofits like The Nature Conservancy and The Sierra Club to smaller grassroots organizations like West Harlem Environmental Action (WE ACT) and Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice. We are extremely proud of our history and now is the time to share our knowledge and resources with others who are eager to do something positive for the planet.

Is it you?

If you care, EarthShare.
