Donors and Philanthropic Partners

Our donors and philanthropic partners play a critical role in creating a fairer, safer, and healthier world, and we are immensely grateful to the more than 500,000 people and organizations who supported us during fiscal year 2023.

We are honored to acknowledge those who have taken a leadership role by giving $1,000 or more, including members of the President’s Circle, new members of the Legacy Society and charitable gift annuitants, and philanthropists and institutional funding partners providing project support. We thank you all for your generosity and for being part of a powerful community of consumer champions.
