Save our beautiful oceans! I've watched reefs die in my backyard, and I want my children to enjoy them in the future!

Collection of funds focused on the health of our forests, climate change activism, and environmental/human rights for communities that are exploited in the pursuit of corporate profit. These funds are a mix of US and globally-focused charities.

This Girl Rows In 2022 I will be rowing solo 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic challenge also I hope to break the world record for the fastest solo female- more people have climbed Mt. Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic! Less than 20 women have ever completed this epic challenge. The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is the premier event in ocean rowing – A challenge that will take me more than 3000 Miles west from San Sebastian in La Gomera, Canary Islands (28oN 18oW) to Nelson’s Dockyard English Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda (17oN 61oW).   I will be rowing for up to 18 hours a day, in temperatures in excess of 30 degrees and 30ft waves- The Waves in the Atlantic can be big, really big. This may be ok in a larger ocean-going vessel but in a small 20ft rowing boat it can lead to being capsized. thisgirlrows.com

The Sustainability@VMware Fund will always provide a curated list of nonprofits that tackle critical dimensions of sustainability and conservation with their global projects. We intend to uphold that mission statement while rotating the specific nonprofits in order to capture moments of community engagement during Earth month or other company-wide sustainability awareness campaigns. Feel free to bookmark this fund! In this launch, we hope to provide an access point to anyone who would like to donate towards sustainability, but is overwhelmed by the diversity of issues and number of nonprofits. These four nonprofits were chosen by surveying the Atlanta and Palo Alto Sustainability Ambassadors. Each nonprofit works globally on issues that affect us all and have been vetted by Sustainability in the Office of the CTO. Additionally, you can view the VMware Sustainability page to learn more about VMware's impact, https://www.vmware.com/company/sustainability.html . Your contributions, no matter how small, can be the first drop in a waterfall of community awareness, engagement, and giving.

The Environment and Sustainability fund features high-impact local, state, and national organizations that work to address issues in conservation, environmental education, and food insecurity.

Guided by science and economics, we need to find practical and lasting solutions to the most serious environmental problems.

A fund sponsored by the Morningstar Sustainability Network, an employee resource group at Morningstar focused on engaging in our community to empower sustainable communities. These nonprofits are focused on making Chicago a cleaner city and encouraging sustainable initiatives.

Reasonable and moderate use of plastic, to avoid the overflow of plastic waste, starting from our daily life, reduce the use of plastic.

Trying to leave this planet a little better than I found it. This year, as with the rest of my life, I really tried to center my charitable giving around the cause that is most important to me: climate change. Of course, that’s not the only thing that’s important to me, so for my other giving I tried to focus on a few organizations that capture a reasonably wide net of my concerns around democracy and women’s rights. Lastly, I topped things off with a donation to the public library, since I benefit from it a lot personally and want to contribute to my local community.

My favorite environmental funds.

LEAF Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont Founded in 2009, LEAF brings people together to grow healthy, pesticide-free food and to learn about environmentally sustainable gardening and urban farming practices. Leaf manages three properties in the East Bay Area - a community garden, one where volunteers grow veggies for donation to a food bank and our newest, a one-acre site, soon to become a micro-farm in the heart of Fremont.

Thousands of fires burning across the Amazon rainforest have captured international attention over the past week. Experts point to deforestation as the cause, which is often carried out illegally and which removed over three times as much forest last month as in July 2018. Fires have been reported in the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Rondonia, Para and Mato Grosso. At least 305 indigenous groups live in the Amazon that depend on the forest and rivers for food and shelter. But the effects of damage to the Amazon go far beyond Brazil and its neighbors. The area's rainforest generates more than 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to 10% of the world's known biodiversity. The Amazon is referred to as the "lungs of the planet" and plays a major role in regulating the climate. Greenpeace has stated that as the number of fires increase, greenhouse emissions do, too. The world would drastically change if the rainforest were to disappear, with impacts on everything from farms to drinking water. The organizations included in the Fund address immediate measures to combat the current crisis and harm to indigenous communities, as well as long term initiatives to combat climate change and to advocate against pro-development policies that have relaxed the enforcement of laws against deforestation and have encouraged mining and farming across biological reserves and indigenous territories.

The Amazon is burning. Almost 73,000 fires have been recorded in the Amazon rainforest this year – nearly double the number for the whole of 2018.

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world and vital to combating climate change. Nearly 73,000 wildfires have decimated the Amazon rainforest this year, a record amount for an ecosystem that produces a remarkable amount of Earth's oxygen. GitHub Created the Amazon Wildfires Relief Fund to assist with providing aid to help save the Amazon.

The Amazon is currently facing record-breaking wildfires with the number of fires in Brazil being 80% higher than last year. More than half are in the Amazon region, spelling disaster for the local environment and ecology. Two states in the Amazon have already declared state of emergency: Acre and Amazonas. Brazil's environmental agency IBAMA is hiring hundreds of temporary firefighters to help fight the fires.

The lungs of the Earth are in flames, join me in supporting this group that protects the rainforest, defends Indigenous rights and works to address climate change. 

In loving memory of Nora Abdelnabi. To honor Khalid's wife, an amazing woman with a generous nature her family would like to give the gift of clean air and beauty back to the world. Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, and incredible support. #NorasForest

We’ve known for a long time that the balance of nature has been disrupted. This disruption has resulted in the greatest rate of extinction since the loss of dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago. This year join us in supporting the Earth Day 2019 - Protect Our Species Fund, which comprises organizations that aim to slow the rate of extinction and protect threatened and endangered species. These organizations focus on everything from protecting endangered species to pushing for policy changes that position the best interests of the environment and biodiversity as priorities.
