The organizations we have selected to donate to are all well established and covers both green as well as humanitarian issues. The intention is to do an even distribution between the five selected organizations. In the beginning of 2010 however we donated 100% of our commissions to the Red Cross after the earth quakes on Tahiti and in Chile.

The American Red Cross

The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, provides relief to victims of disaster and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. UNICEF has the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes UNICEF unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.
