Donations and Activism

Our commitment to a better world is not about symbolism. Since 1985 we've donated over $65 million to progressive groups like Doctors Without Borders and Planned Parenthood — $10 million alone to environmental groups like Sierra Club and Greenpeace. And we've backed up our donations with real activism. The one million activists of our citizens lobby are leading the way on important environmental causes like:

• Reducing carbon emissions by 80% below 1990 levels before 2050, as called for by Nobel Prize-winning scientists
• Preventing Big Oil's exploitation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
• Fighting the industry's campaign to greenwash coal, build new coal plants and mine coal by removing mountaintops
• Organizing to better protect our vanishing wildlife by strengthening the Endangered Species Act
• Demanding a national standard on renewable energy and a timetable to achieve it
