E12 – Out of this world: Setting sights on $1B in corporate philanthropy

In this episode, we speak with Kate Williams, the CEO of 1% for the Planet, a global network of nearly 6,000 businesses committed to giving 1% of annual sales to movement-driven nonprofit organizations around the world. With a vision of reaching $1B in global giving within the next 5 years, we speak with Kate about the 1-year old Planet Impact Fund, the importance of building a supportive team culture to get the work done, and their intentional transition from funding traditional “conservation” nonprofits to those working in the areas of Rights to Nature, Resilient Communities, Conservation and Restoration, and Just Economies. You’ll also appreciate a couple tidbits about April Earth Month activities, this year’s annual Global Summit in New York, and more. Thanks for tuning in.
