Environmental Charities - Put your Money to Work


With so many options for charities to donate to (Forbes reports that there are more than 1.5 million nonprofits) it's worth sitting down to think about which way to go.  Don’t forget to consider donating locally, but here are several options environmental charities to consider.



Union of Concerned Scientists 
Our scientists and engineers develop and implement innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.

Natural Resources Defense Council
The Natural Resources Defense Council works to safeguard the earth - its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.

Friends of the Earth
Friends of the Earth strives for a more healthy and just world.  Together we speak truth to power and expose those who endanger the health of people and the planet for corporate profit. We organize to build long-term political power and campaign to change the rules of our economic and political systems that create injustice and destroy nature.

We are an international non-profit organization working to build strong forests, healthy agricultural landscapes, and thriving communities through creative, pragmatic collaboration.

Earthjustice
Today’s environmental challenges are greater than ever. But we live in a country of strong environmental laws—and Earthjustice holds those who break our nation’s laws accountable for their actions. Earthjustice has been the legal backbone for thousands of organizations, large and small.

American Rivers
The mission of American Rivers is to protect wild rivers, restore damaged rivers and conserve clean water for people and nature.  We combine national advocacy with field work in key river basins to deliver the greatest impact.

Trust for Public Land
At the Trust for Public Land, we don't just save land—we save land for people to enjoy, from neighborhood parks to national parks. We depend on the ongoing support of individuals to make sure our work carries on well into the future.  Our mission is to create parks and protect land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come.
