High Mountain Creative Announces Membership with 1% for the Planet

MISSOULA, MONTANA – High Mountain Creative joined 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate 1% of annual sales to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment.

"Our member companies have donated more than $175 million to our environmental nonprofit partners to date. Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 3% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of member businesses is doing its valuable part to increase giving and support on the ground outcomes. Our members lead with purpose and commitment, characteristics that consumers support. We're excited to welcome High Mountain Creative to our global network," says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.

 “I’ve always found it important to give back to organizations that help make our planet a better place. I’m so excited to join 1% for the Planet in 2019 and be a part of the bigger picture,” says High Mountain Creative ­owner, Margo Stoney.

Members of 1% for the Planet contribute one percent of annual sales directly to any of the approved nonprofit environmental organizations in the network.

Nonprofits are approved based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Thousands of nonprofits worldwide are currently approved.
