Support

At MII, we envision a future where all materials used in the fashion, automotive, and home goods industries are good for the planet and compassionate to its inhabitants. A future where leather bags are crafted from mycelium and orange peels are spun into silk bedsheets. But we are still a long way from next-gen materials being a promising trend to a viable economic future.

We sustain our vision of advancing sustainable, animal-free next-gen materials through the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individual donors. With your support, MII can continue to build a cleaner, kinder world.

Why support MII

Your donation can help MII:

  • To support the next-gen materials industry through rigorous research
  • To continue being a trusted knowledge partner for material companies, scientists, brands, entrepreneurs, and investors; and
  • To convene leaders and create invigorating discourse around next-gen materials.

Double Your Support Through Your Employer

Does your employer offer a corporate matching gift? Many companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations. When an employee makes a donation, the employee usually needs to request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio. MII is currently set up to receive corporate match distributions through Benevity. If your employer has special requirements for nonprofit eligibility and distribution, please reach out to devteam@materialinnovation.com so we can help maximize your gift.
