Well, Yvon's a billionaire, right? Here's some grantmaking bullet points posted on Patagonia's site:

89 MILLION: Dollars donated for environmental work since we started our tithing program in 1985
954: Number of environmental groups that received a grant this year
156,401: Dollars given to nonprofits through our Employee Charity Match program

Oh, TITHING program? Like in the Earth is a R E L I G I O N? Plus, gotta lover the huge employee participation, pay scales must be impressive.

121,000: Dollar amount (at our cost) of new and used clothing given through our clothing-donation program

Wow, that's a lot.

175 MILLION: Dollars 1% for the Planet® has donated to nonprofit environmental groups since it was founded in 2002 by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews

So that's on total revenues of eleven billion point seven five?

Finding actual grant numbers is kind of rough. As a corporation, PG gets the writeoffs and reports those against its corporate income, but might not have a 501c3 which is required to list grants made -- but those groups near the Dillon Outlet in Montana are listed as:


Supported Grantees

Climate Smart Missoula
Defenders of Wildlife
Great Burn Study Group
Madison River Foundation
Montana Raptor Conservation Center
Prairie Dog Coalition of The Humane Society of the United States
Public Land/Water Access Association, Inc.
Save the Yellowstone Grizzly
Western Sustainability Exchange
Wildlife Conservation Society Community Partnerships Program

Defenders of Wildlife and The Prairie Dog Coalition of HSUS? Not exactly sportsmen groups, hmmm.
