We are excited to spotlight Ting Lee, a prominent member of EarthShare's board! 

Ting Lee is the Assistant Director, Programs & Compliance at The Sierra Club Foundation and serves as a Board Chair at EarthShare. 

The Sierra Club Foundation promotes climate solutions, conservation, and movement building through a powerful combination of strategic philanthropy and grassroots advocacy. As the fiscal sponsor of the charitable programs of the Sierra Club, they provide resources to it and other nonprofit organizations to support scientific, educational, literary, organizing, advocacy, and legal programs that further their goals. 

When asked, "What personally motivates you to serve on EarthShare's board?" Lee responds, “I first became involved with EarthShare as a member representative from my work at two different environmental nonprofits and was inspired to serve on the board because I could see the tremendous impact from participating in workplace giving campaigns under the federation of EarthShare and wanted to be part of its transformation into an organization that expands support for the environmental movement beyond workplace giving campaigns. As chair over the last three years, I have been particularly proud to oversee advancement of our justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion strategy by increasing visibility of the environmental justice groups in our network and the launch of an online giving and engagement platform to make strategic environmental philanthropy accessible to everyone.” 
 
We're deeply thankful for the dedication of our board members, whose commitment is vital to our mission's success and inspires us on our path toward a more sustainable future. 🌿

One Earth is accelerating collective action to solve the climate crisis through groundbreaking science, inspiring media, and an innovative approach to scaling climate philanthropy.

Indigenous Peoples' Day serves as a critical moment of reflection and acknowledgment of the historical injustices committed against Native American communities. It underscores the need for us all to recognize that we live on stolen land, the ancestral territories of indigenous peoples who have endured centuries of displacement, marginalization, and cultural erasure. This day invites us to honor the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native Americans while also addressing the ongoing struggles they face. It's a call to engage in meaningful dialogue, promote justice, and advocate for the rights and well-being of indigenous communities as we work toward a more equitable future that acknowledges the painful truths of our past.
