Initiatives

Being Swift is synonymous with caring about the world around you and the people and living being within it. We wish to use our influence to set an example of how we wish to see the world. I implore everyone to choose your cause, decide what you care about, and support it! Try to make the world a better place. No matter how big or small your impact, it does matter! 

I tend to choose smaller organizations because although the work may be similar, your donation goes a lot further with a local or small org/charity that may be struggling. Large organizations are great too but they often get other support from large companies or celebrities and are usually better off in general!

Some of the causes that we constantly give towards include but are not limited to:

Animals/Natural Environment
-NRDC (Natural Resource Defense Council)
-The Animal Humane Society
-The Pipsqueakery
-Center for Biological Diversity
-The Marine Mammal Center
-4Ocean
-MN Wildlife Rehab Center

Children/Disease Prevention/Special Needs/Education
-Children's Minnesota Foundation
-Gillette Children's Foundation
-Black Girls Break Bread (Chicago)

Diseases/Sickness
-Children's Cancer Research Fund

Feel free to support these same great causes, or pick your own! Giving Tuesday (Tuesday after Thanksgiving) is a great time to give because many large donors volunteer to double or match donations during this time. October-December is also typically a great time to give and make your donation go the furthest for the initiatives you are supporting!
