Pledge 1% is an organization dedicated to helping companies donate 1% of their equity, product, time, or profit. The Growth Heroes team strives to help not only those in our local communities but also those across the world. From food banks, to the rainforest, to technology foundations, nonprofits all over have seen an increase in funds to the services they provide thanks to the Growth Heroes contributions. It is our hope that those in need will have better access to the resources they need to make improvements within their daily lives.
The Pledge 1% team is always providing resources and suggestions for how companies like ours can give back to the community. We take full advantage of these resources so that we can maximize our impact for those who need it most.
The United Nations also has a program designed around sustainability development. The United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG) has three main goals of helping climate change, reaching zero hunger, and gaining gender equality.

Through our support of the below organizations and our own corporate policies, we are proud to have the means and opportunities to support others.

“The mission of the Rainforest Foundation is to support indigenous and traditional peoples of the world’s rainforests in their environment and fulfill their rights by assisting them in:
- Securing and controlling the natural resources necessary for their long term well being and managing these resources in ways which do not harm the environment, violate their culture, or compromise their future; and
- Developing the means to protect their individual and collective rights and to obtain, shape and control basic services from the state.”
Growth Heroes selected The Rainforest Foundation as a cause we wanted to support as we believe the world can be made a better place with the help of the resources the rainforest is able to provide. We hope that the people who rely on these resources will be better equipped to face life’s challenges.
