At SERI, we believe that every transaction should carry a greater purpose. That’s why we launched 1% for Humanity—a bold commitment to donate 1% of our revenue to projects that are actively shaping a better, more equitable world.
This initiative isn’t charity—it’s shared impact. Every client, every project, and every purchase fuels real change in communities around the globe.
The Vision.
Launched in 2024, 1% for Humanity was born from a simple but powerful question: What if doing business could also mean doing good? With this initiative, we direct unrestricted funding to high-impact organizations focused on:
Fighting poverty.
Improving access to quality education.
Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Advancing environmental sustainability.
Our Approach.
We partner with vetted, community-led organizations to ensure that our contributions reach those best positioned to lead local solutions. Our strategy centers on three principles:
Flexibility for Maximum Impact.
Funds are allocated without burdensome restrictions, allowing our partners to direct resources where they’re needed most.
Collaboration Over Charity.
We build long-term relationships with grantees—emphasizing mutual respect, accountability, and shared learning.
Transparency & Storytelling.
Every dollar is tracked. Every impact is documented. Clients and partners see how their support turns into measurable outcomes.
The Impact So Far.
In just the first few months of the initiative, 1% for Humanity has already helped drive meaningful change:
Provided emergency grants to women-led cooperatives enabling local entrepreneurs to rebuild after climate-related crisis.
Supported a youth-led reforestation campaign planting over 200 native trees and creating 10 local green jobs.
Partnered with an education nonprofit to deliver STEM programming and mentorship to underrepresented high school students.
Connected with a global hunger relief organization to support food distribution and poverty-alleviation programs in regions hit hardest by economic and climate crises—delivering over 5000 meals and emergency aid kits.
Looking Ahead.
As we scale, 1% for Humanity will continue to evolve—expanding our reach, diversifying the partners we support, and deepening the impact of every dollar we invest. In 2025, we’re aiming to fund projects in at least 10 countries and increase our contributions by 30%.
When purpose is built into every transaction, we create a world where business growth and social good go hand in hand.
