This is a call for feedback as we review how ONEgroup gives back to our global community
During the six years ONEgroup has been operating, we have set aside a portion of joining fees for giving back to the community- $5 for every member. Over the last six years ONEgroup has donated to the David Suzuki Foundation. David has been an environmental warrior and hero to the Directors well before creating our company and when environmental issues were rarely in the headlines. His stunning documentaries and courageous scientific research which provide a scientific platform for solving truly massive questions, have been contributing to input for management of our only planet for many untiring years.
The David Suzuki Foundation has been a significant contributor to global awareness of climate change, human health issues, global conservation of our forests and wildlife, and tackling the critical issues of the degradation of our oceans. It provides assistance to governments and businesses in creating practical solutions to a wide range of environmental and health issues and
formalizing practical principles of sustainable economies and ecologies. David’s big contribution is not just the many television documentaries and media activities he has generated over decades. A vast amount of scientific research has, and is, being generated by his team to support the knowledge and awareness of environmental issues in order to push through the political, commercial and social barriers to positive action and change by providing persuasive and understandable education based on sound science.
As a company we will continue to support the David Suzuki Foundation, but we are also wanting to branch out and contribute to other causes. There are so many charities and non-profit organizations that are doing truly heroic work around the globe. By spreading out our contributions, we hope to inspire everyone in the ONEgroup community and contribute to a wider range of essential planetary needs.
We would like to get feedback from our ONEgroup community to see what YOU would love to see ONEgroup supporting and we will consider every suggestion. One idea is to contribute funds from each global region towards a non-profit organization local to that respective region.
Alternatively, based on the feedback, if international groups predominate in your feedback, then we may divide our total Giving Back funds amongst a small number of the non-profit organizations that stand out from the feedback.
What organizations would you recommend? Post your comments with a weblink below. Tell me why you believe in that “green, sustainable” company. I will review and pass along to the ONE Group management for review.
I am looking forward to learning about the great, green organizations out there!
