Pledge 1% Humanitarian Relief Series: Resource Hub
Every day, we hear more news about various refugee crises around the world. We want to work with you, our Pledge 1% members and partners, to explore concrete ways that companies can help.
Pledge 1% is launching a Humanitarian Relief Series for our members and partners to hone in on current and emerging trends related to humanitarian issues and needs around the world. While some of this content will be Ukraine-specific as the war continues and needs evolve, we will also highlight other global challenges and opportunities for collaboration and engagement.
