Carbon Offsetting
Climate action at your fingertips
The climate crisis is the issue of our times. Take action today by measuring your carbon footprint, discovering how to reduce your emissions, and offsetting what you can’t.

A DAF is a financial account that lets you contribute assets that can be donated to charity at a later date. You receive an immediate tax deduction from EarthShare for making contributions to your DAF and can take additional time to decide how to invest and where to donate the assets. Perhaps you have extra income or a special taxable event and want to make charitable gifts over several years. Maybe you have several different charitable interests and want to simplify your giving, or you have a private foundation that you wish to terminate or want to use a DAF to complement a private foundation. Our staff can provide expert advice on how best to deploy your donations to support a healthy planet.
