Week 3 EOC: Making money for good

The World Wildlife Fund mission is to conserve nature based on their knowledge and scientific skill and then they further that knowledge to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth. The World Wildlife Fund as a goal which is by 2020 they will have conserved nineteen of the world’s most important natural places and significantly change global markets to protect the future of nature. The World Wildlife Funds supported eight two percent that went into conservation activities even though they were hit by the economical depression. “During this year of financial upheaval, we were immensely gratified by the commitment of our supporters. In the face of a historic economic downturn, our members and other donors continued their support in record numbers. In this year we achieved the highest levels of membership support in our history. While we did experience declines in higher-level gift amounts, the overall continued support was inspiring.”

The next company I found was called 3 Clothing Co. 3 Clothing Co. mission statements is to provide fashionable and quality clothing using organic/clean and sustainable materials. “3 is taking the lead by using 100% certified organic/clean cotton and eco-friendly water-based inks in the creation of fashionable and artistic clothing.” 3 Clothing Co. also donates ten percent of every purchase to a charity. “3 Clothing Company donates 10% of every sale to the charity of the buyer’s choice off an approved list.”

The last company that I wanted to list is Newman’s Own the have ten products and list Presto recipes. This company donates all profits to charities. “Newman's Own Foundation continues Paul Newman’s commitment to donate all profits to charity. Over $295 million has been given to thousands of charities since 1982. The Newman's Own Foundation makes grants to charities within the United States and abroad.” In conclusion there are companies other than Toms Shoes that want to give to the community with the money that they have.
