Mercy for Animals

Their mission: To end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system.

Our connection: Animals deserve a little extra love, and Mercy for Animals ensures they get it. As our resident animal whisperer (with a full house to prove it), I (Tyler) am extremely passionate about protecting and improving the lives of all creatures. By supporting this cause, we’re giving back to the ones who can’t speak for themselves—but have our hearts nonetheless.

Minds Matter Colorado

Their mission: Minds Matter Colorado connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.

Our connection: We believe that genius has no zip code, and where you’re from shouldn’t dictate where you’re going. As a first-generation college student myself, I (Vanessa) serve on their Board of Directors and deeply believe in this mission, as well as the phenomenal students that will one day be our most impactful leaders. Supporting MMCO’s work is personal—and powerful.

ACLU

Their mission: The ACLU dares to create a more perfect union — beyond one person, party, or side, to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all, and to expand the reach of its guarantees.

Our connection: Equity and justice aren’t just trendy buzzwords—they’re essentials to humanity. As a Black woman and a gay man, we care deeply about creating a fairer, more inclusive world. The ACLU fights for civil rights, equity, and justice for everyone, and we’re proud to help fuel their mission.
