Protecting and restoring the environment takes more than one person or organization, it takes a community. At For The Next we are focused on creating community by building a bridge between people and environmental nonprofit organizations, paving the way for individuals to support the reversal of their environmental impact and help improve the planet.

Listing your organization with For The Next provides a powerful channel to connect with people who are passionate about your interests, but may not know about your organization. Our online centralized database makes it easy for people to find and donate to your organization.

We enable people to connect with and donate to a diverse group of environmentally-focused nonprofit organizations. For The Next facilitates this experience by batching all donations and dispatching them to member organizations once a month. Along with the funds, For The Next sends an itemized breakdown of donations for record keeping and communication purposes.

Best of all, joining is free. There is no fee or charge for being part of the For The Next community. Our service is complimentary. Why? All of us at For The Next want to improve our planet and we believe this is our way to make a difference and pave the way for others to get involved.

For The Next is a community of diverse environmentally-focused nonprofit organizations. To be part of the community we require nonprofit organizations meet and maintain the criteria listed below.

Organizations must not:

1. Employ behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill something or someone.

2. Self-Reporting: Periodic survey by For The Next of the organizations leaders, who are asked to provide information on their activities, accomplishments, and results.
