Businesses that share our mission of rainforest conservation for wildlife, climate, people and the Planet and are committed to being environmentally responsible and achieving their sustainability goals can make a difference by partnering with Rainforest 4 Foundation and the 1% for the Planet program.
1% for the Planet represents a global network of businesses, individuals and environmental organisations tackling our planet’s most pressing environmental issues. 1% for the Planet was founded on the model of a business membership program: responsible businesses giving back to Environmental Partners to create a healthier planet.
How it works:
- Join: Business members join the network, committing to donate the equivalent of 1% of gross sales through a combination of monetary, in-kind and approved promotional support directly to Environmental Partners.
- Advise: 1% for the Planet provides partnership advising, pairing members with Environmental Partners that align with their values, their brand and that make the biggest impact possible.
- Donate: Business members support their Environmental Partner(s) directly.
- Certify: 1% for the Planet certifies all member donations—legitimising members’ commitment by reviewing and confirming sales and donation details annually.
Since their inception in 2002, 1% for the Planet has helped to direct hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental partners around the world.

About Us
Rainforest 4 Foundation was established in August 2018 to help you protect and restore the Earth’s rainforests.
With your support, the growth of our flagship programs Save the Daintree and Rainforest Rangers has resulted in the need for a new overarching identity that reflects the continued expansion of our conservation impact.
As of September 2023, Rainforest 4 Foundation Ltd has changed its name to Gondwana Rainforest Trust Ltd. The company will continue trading as Rainforest 4 Foundation until an official relaunch in late 2023.
While our name is changing, our mission, values, people and rainforest conservation aims are the same.
Through our projects we deliver real outcomes for wildlife, climate, people and planet. With your support we protect and restore rainforests by purchasing land, creating new protected areas, stopping and reversing the impacts of development, and restoring rainforest ecosystems damaged in the past.
Our Mission and Values, Partnership Strategy and Conservation Strategy further outline who we are, what we do, and how we do it.
We know that by working together we can make the world a better place, so building and maintaining relationships are at the centre of everything we do. We’d love to hear from you so please don’t hesitate to contact us.
