We're proud to be proactive community members, making small donations to local causes like schools and social assistance groups throughout the year, every year. We've done this for decades, and we will continue to do so.
We're also committed to donating at least 1% of our annual revenues to approved environmental non-profits, and we're very happy to announce that we have made just donations to the following local and regional environmental non-profits:
"The Nisqually Land Trust is an independent, private, nongovernmental organization incorporated in 1989 and federally recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in 1990. Our mission is to protect and steward lands to permanently benefit the water, fish, wildlife, and people of the Nisqually River Watershed."
"GRuB works at the intersection of food, education, and health systems. With roots in the land, we create opportunities for people to learn, lead, and thrive. We envision an equitable world where we are all nourished by healthy relationships, resilient community, and good food. Each year, GRuB directly engages approximately 1,500 Thurston County residents of all ages in relationships-based programming around growing & preparing good food. We primarily work with marginalized young people with low incomes and/or behavioral and disciplinary indicators of high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) scores, families with low incomes, students, seniors experiencing hunger, tribal communities, and veterans."
Washington State Trails Association
"Washington Trails Association mobilizes hikers and everyone who loves the outdoors to explore, steward and champion trails and public lands."
Bucks employees decide together which non-profits to support financially. We're lucky to make these contributions only because you, our customers, support your local community by shopping local, with Bucks.
These three particular donations fulfill our promise to donate at least 1% of our annual revenues to approved environmental non-profits who are registered with One Percent For The Planet. If you are with a regional environmental non-profit that is not registered with One Percent, we encourage you to register with them, and in the future we will consider your non-profit when we decide our donations.
If you are an impact-minded business and you want to become a One Percent for the Planet partner, join here!
We love being a part of the Puget Sound community, and thank you for being our customers!
