Our Vision

Everyone takes action for a healthy planet.

Our Mission

At EarthShare, our mission is to empower people, nonprofits, and businesses with the inspiration and tools they need to build a more just and sustainable world. We do this by accelerating capital to environmental nonprofits and initiatives as a trusted philanthropic advisor specializing in donor-advised funding, fiscal sponsorship, and workplace giving.

By transforming the infrastructure behind environmental giving, we make it simpler, faster, and more strategic to direct resources where they can have the greatest impact on climate, biodiversity, and the natural world. Whether you’re at work, at home, or on the move, EarthShare connects you with the causes you care about and makes taking action easy, impactful, and aligned with your values.

We believe in a future where everyone plays a role in protecting our planet. Together, we’re making that future possible.

A Look Back

The EarthShare PSAs

In the 1990s and 2000s, EarthShare’s iconic public service announcements (PSAs) brought environmental giving into the national spotlight. Distributed by the Ad Council, these memorable TV campaigns—including a widely recognized spot featuring Harrison Ford—became one of the most significant environmental media efforts of their time.

Our History, Our Future

Founded in 1988, EarthShare was the first organization to unite environmental nonprofits in workplace giving campaigns nationwide. Since then, we have mobilized more than $400 million for environmental causes—engaging with millions of donors, creating new pathways for support, and strengthening the environmental movement.

The challenges we face today —climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental injustice—are urgent. But so is the power of aligned, intentional action. At EarthShare, we believe that progress comes through collaboration. Every day, we build strong, trust-based partnerships with funders, businesses, public agencies, nonprofits, and other allies. We stay connected through active participation in philanthropic and professional networks, including the Environmental Grantmakers Association, Confluence Philanthropy, Funders for Regenerative Agriculture, and Climate Philanthropy Catalyst Coalition. These connections keep us grounded, informed by diverse perspectives, and aligned with partners who share our vision.

Why Our Work Matters

One of the most impactful paths forward for both our communities and our planet is to channel resources to the organizations and initiatives driving today’s most crucial environmental solutions. By meeting people where they are and giving them ways to learn and give, EarthShare transforms intention into impact. The challenges are immense, but so is our collective power. We invite you to join us because, together, we can create the future we believe in.
