• Charitable Recycling Program: Benefits various charities
• Collective Good: Benefits various charities
• Happy Hollow Park Zoo, San Jose: Benefits Orangutan Conservancy
• Recycle for Breast Cancer: Donates all the profits from its recycling efforts to support the fight against breast cancer
• Verizon Wireless HopeLine: Benefits victims of domestic violence
• Wireless Fundraiser: Benefits various charities, including several animal rescue organizations
