In the wake of the 2016 elections, the Board of Other Avenues voted to significantly broaden the scope of our charitable giving program.

The non-profits we aim to support represent a range of values that both reflect our community’s concerns and mirror Other Avenues’ Mission Statement:

“Healthy People, Healthy Business, Healthy Planet.”

These vetted organizations work on behalf of policy positions and individuals made most vulnerable by the present administration in the arenas of

• civil rights
• immigrants’ rights
• workers’ rights
• sexual and reproductive freedom and safety
• environmental protection and stewardship

These worthy non-profits work on the local level, providing direct action and support to individuals, as well as on the national level, to litigate and lobby on behalf of social justice and environmental issues.
