WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
More than 95¢ of each dollar donated through EarthShare goes to support environmental programs. EarthShare works hard to keep its overhead low so your donation will have even more impact.
GULF OIL SPILL: How to give Your Share
In what is now the worst environmental disaster in America’s history, the Gulf oil spill threatens the fragile Gulf coastline and wetlands, the seafood industry, the region's economy, and hundreds of species of wildlife.Long after the well is capped and clean up efforts have halted, the effects of the Gulf oil spill will be felt in this region. That’s why many of EarthShare’s member charities will be there for the long term recovery. You can support their efforts through the EarthShare Gulf Coast Restoration Fund.
Please donate today. Your gift will be used to support trusted charities involved in recovery efforts and will be restricted to projects that restore natural areas and habitat in the Gulf States. Project distributions from the fund will be determined by EarthShare's board of directors, comprised of member charity and corporate representatives.
Most importantly, you can feel secure knowing that EarthShare has earned the Better Business Bureau's stamp of approval as a safe way to support Gulf Coast recovery.

What happens next?
EarthShare's staff ensures that all donations received during the previous month are disbursed to the nonprofit organizations you choose to support. Unless you made your gift anonymously, you will receive your acknowledgment from us via email if you provided your email address; if you made a gift on someone's behalf and you provided their email address, we will contact them via email to advise them of this gift as per your instructions. Because we're an environmental organization, we try to avoid paper mailings as much as possible!
If you asked us to share your information with the charities you designated to, you can expect to hear from them as well. Your name will NOT be added to EarthShare’s mailing list unless you specifically subscribe. We take your privacy very seriously and will never share your contact information without your permission. EarthShare never sells donor information to a third party. Learn more about EarthShare's donor privacy policy.
Because EarthShare also gives you the option to make a gift 'on behalf of,' 'in memory of,' or 'in honor of,' we will ensure that an acknowledgment note is sent to your gift recipients in a timely manner. Again, this will automatically be sent via email if you provide your recipient's email address. ** If your gift is time-sensitive, please note this in Dedication Field on the form and we will do our best to honor your timeframe. **
