1% for the Planet
1% For The Planet is a nonprofit organization whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental causes. With more than 1,200 members in over 40 countries, the 1% For The Planet network has given more than $150 million back to the planet.
Protecting, exploring and celebrating our environment is at the heart of THE SANDBOX. Being a 1% member is another step we’ve taken towards our commitment to the planet and we know that every dollar goes towards a trusted and valuable nonprofit. THE SANDBOX is the only coworking space in the US that is a 1% member.
We’re surrounded by an inspiring network of local businesses who are also 1% for the Planet members. LoaCom, Toad & Co, Topa Topa Brewing, All Good, SOL HAUS DESIGN and Patagonia are all committed to giving back to the earth.
Interested in learning more about the 1% community and business? Join us and a great group of 1% partners on Tuesday, April 23rd from 6pm-9pm at THE SANDBOX for Corporate Responsibility and Scaling a Business. We’ll be joined by four CEO’s of regional brands that are 1% For The Planet members for an intimate conversation moderated by LOACOM’s Eric Cárdenas.
