My Nonprofit Reviews

I donate annually to CBD because they are at the forefront of many of the issues I am most concerned about, including protections for threatened & endangered species, climate change mitigation, exposing the public and environmental health risks of extreme fossil fuels, and connecting the dots between global population growth and the current extinction crisis. I appreciate the fact that, in addition to educating the public, CBD also uses the law to stop abuses and implement solutions to big problems. CBD has, for example, been instrumental in the Landmark 757 Species Settlement, exposing corporate agriculture's motivations for funding the CA water bond, & suits against offshore fracking, against Ventura County, CA's approval of fracking in Santa Paula Cyn, & Nestlé's theft of public water in the San Bernardino National Forest for private profit through bottling. CBD currently earns an 86.95 Total Score from Charity Navigator, a Charity Watch A rating, a Guide Star Gold rating, and in 2011 was named a Philanthropedia top nonprofit in the area of Animal Welfare, Rights & Protection. CBD consistently earns my financial & activist support year after year.
