CULTURE:
Oomph Doing Good
At Oomph, we want everyone who interacts with our agency to be better off for it — whether that’s our partners, our team, or the users we serve. We joined 1% for the Planet in 2022 to live out that promise by committing to the biggest community out there: our world.
Why 1% for the Planet?
Over the years, we’ve honed our core purpose: to elevate our clients, our people, and our community. Our cutting-edge websites, apps, and platforms elevate our clients, while our culture of compassion elevates our team members.
But community compels us to go beyond our work. By joining 1% for the Planet, we’re making a commitment to an even bigger community, holding ourselves accountable for our impact on the natural world, and magnifying our collective good.
Our Impact
As a whole company member, we pledge 1% of our gross annual sales to worthy environmental causes through volunteer hours and monetary contributions — with a focus on supporting communities where our remote team members live and work.
- $50,000+ in direct monetary contributions
- 12 organizations supported

[Oomph feels] a real sense of responsibility to give back — whether that is to our communities or open source projects. There is a strong commitment and encouragement to support initiatives where we see real purpose. That support of the intangibles where ROI is not always measured by dollars is refreshing.
