Piper & Heath dedicates 1% of our gross sales to social commitment. In this effort, we join the ranks of some the most successful and forward-thinking businesses on the globe. We consider this 1% an investment in sustainability rather than charity. These funds are used in various ways, but they are always focused on environmental and humanitarian work being done in developing countries. A large portion of the 1% is used in fundraising efforts where we leverage our spending to magnify the dollar value of the funds we send to Africa.

Since becoming a 1% company, the combined total of funds raised and 1% contribution is $860,000 as of 2022 year end. These figures have been independently verified.

Examples of our fundraising efforts include:
PROJECT REWILD ZAMBEZI
CHEETAH CONSERVATION FUNDRAISERS
MISSION:WILDLIFE
THE LONG RIDE TO FREE THEM (aka THE RHINO RIDE)

At Piper & Heath we recognize that we also have a responsibility to the youth of America when it comes to education. We love sharing our knowledge and passion for all things Africa. We regularly send representatives to schools where we give presentations on varying subjects from the socioeconomic challenges in contemporary Africa to the intricacies of African history. As Africa moves into the future and establishes itself in the global community, it is important that we as Africans make our individuality and personality known to the world at large. Through our talks with American youth, we hope that this generation will have a clearer understanding of Africa and its people.
