Community Involvement

Members of this environmental organization promise to donate at least 1% of their annual business revenue to recognized organizations actively engaged in improving our natural environment. “1%” audits member financial records to confirm that members fulfill their promises.

1% for the Planet was founded by Yvon Choinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Matthews, owner of Blue Ribbon Files, in 2001. Their mission is “…to build and support an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet.”

One of the important services of Interface is that they maintain women’s shelters in Ventura County for women in crises. The Interface mission is “to strengthen children, families and communities to be safe, healthy and thriving.”

Lifetime Legal sponsors annual recognition luncheons on International Women’s Day in support of Interface. 

The Ventura Land Trust (formerly Ventura Hillsides Conservancy) is a land trust operating in the Ventura region to protect and conserve open space resources through acquisition of land and easements, stewardship of protected lands, and public education about local natural resources.
