Overview

Mission

Earthshare provides individuals, businesses, and nonprofits with inspiration and tools to work together for a just and sustainable world.

What it reported doing in 2024

Earthshare works with hundreds of public and private workplaces, from federal, state, and local governments to businesses of all sizes to inspire employees to take positive action for a healthy planet.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 66% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
