Meet our 2025 1% for the Planet beneficiaries

At the beginning of April, 1% for the Planet (1% FTP) shared a post that stated, “Earth Day is a reminder, not a plan. One day (or even one month) of attention isn’t enough. The planet needs sustained commitment. So, this Earth Month, we’re asking: What’s your plan?”

At DG+, our plan is ingrained in the work we do every day. We leverage energy expertise, creative skill, and marketing strategy to empower clean energy and sustainable brands to deliver innovative, low-carbon products and services that fight climate change. This has been our north star since day one.

But our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the work we deliver. We believe meaningful change happens when companies align their values with action. That’s why we’re proud to be a certified B Corp and a member of Clean Creatives and 1% for the Planet.

For the fourth year in a row, DG+ has donated 1% of our gross sales through 1% FTP to nonprofit organizations working on the ground to support people and the planet. As in years past, each DG+ employee selected a nonprofit that resonates with them, and our total donation was split evenly among these organizations.

California State Parks Foundation (Climate Crisis Relief Fund)

Mission Statement

Protecting and preserving the California state park system for the benefit of all. The Climate Crisis Relief Fund is specifically earmarked for parks that have recently experienced climate impacts from wildfires, winter storms, and other weather-related events.

Why We Chose Them

“Just over 10 years ago, I moved from Colorado to Los Angeles to work for the climate change advocacy nonprofit Protect Our Winters, whose office was located in Pacific Palisades. Moving from a small mountain town to the second largest city in the country was a shock, but the trail network within the Palisades became my saving grace. For years, I ran Temescal Ridge Trail in Topanga State Park multiple times a week. That ritual continued until the Palisades fire devastated the area, along with Will Rogers State Park, earlier this year. These parks and this community are a huge reason I chose to live here again. Because of that, I directed my donation to the Climate Crisis Relief Fund created by the California State Parks Foundation. Funds like these will be essential in rebuilding some of the most treasured parts of Los Angeles.” – Barbara Weber

I’m supporting the Alliance in its work to rehabilitate this space that so many Brooklyn residents hold dear.” – Dana Filek-Gibson
