In early 2011, as a sales and marketing agency with a staff of 3 full-time equivalents, we decided to join 1% For The Planet. In the grand scheme, our revenue was small and our business in its infancy, but we always knew that we wanted to do what we could to stand up for our values.
Since then, we have been able to donate to various non-profit organizations that do incredibly important work! We take pride in growing relationships with the groups we support and go beyond the monetary transactions. Our team is invested in selecting groups dear to their hearts and key to the land they reside on. Much more work is needed and we are committed to doing our small part of educating ourselves and supporting organizations that make a difference for generations to come!
Through 1% For The Planet, we donate 1% of our revenue every year to environmental NGOs that are targeting issues that are most important to our community. Below is a list of organizations (in alphabetical order) that we have partnered with over the years.
Donations to date:

Mission: To cooperate with the Alberta Government and community to engage in the sound stewardship of Kananaskis Country through participation and education.
Our Philosophy
We believe young women deserve opportunities to be curious about the world around them. Research shows that many girls are interested in science and the outdoors at an early age, but drift away as they grow older. By encouraging girls’ natural curiosities, inspiring them to connect their interests in science and art, and cultivating trust in their own physical capabilities, we motivate more women to pursue their passions in science and outdoor activities. We believe in making science and outdoor spaces open and inclusive and this takes much more than our expeditions; this takes changing the culture of science and outdoor exploration from the inside.
