The Lost Mountain is honored to share that as of November, 25, 2013 we are a new nonprofit partner of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of over 1,100 member companies in 48 countries that give one percent of revenues to environmental causes.

The Lost Mountain is now eligible to receive donations from 1% member companies, placing them among a diverse, global network of environmental organizations. 1% member businesses fuel this non-profit network through their annual contributions, which totaled over $22 million in 2010. Partnership with 1% greatly expands the potential pool of funding to which Lost Mountain can look to for support.

Over 3,500 nonprofits worldwide are included in the 1% network, and over $70 million has been funneled to its nonprofit partners to date. “The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful force in solving the world’s problems,” Yvon Chouinard, founder of 1% for the Planet.
