It is a non-profit organization operating in three languages. Founder and executive directorsAustralian-American activist Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman is the founder of SumOfUs and was its executive director from 2011 to 2016. In November 2016, Hannah Lownsbrough became the new executive director of SumOfUs. HistorySumOfUs was launched in 2011 with campaigns targeting Google’s links to the US Chamber of Commerce,[2] a campaign to thank Starbucks for supporting same-sex marriage in the United States,[3] and calling on Apple to force its suppliers to treat their workers more ethically.[4] Since its launch, SumOfUs has expanded to have members in nearly every country{{cn|date=February 2017}} with the greatest concentrations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France and Germany.[5][6] SumOfUs has staff in the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Lithuania, Colombia and the Netherlands. Notable campaignsIn December 2013, after a week of pressure from SumOfUs members, Zara and major UK retailers Topshop and Asos committed to stop selling Angora from rabbits that were plucked live for their fur.[7] In February 2014, Kellogg’s and Wilmar both signed commitments to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains in the next two years. [8] SumOfUs demanded in a petition that "the cereal maker [Kellogg’s] get tough with Wilmar or end its supply and distribution joint venture with the company".[9] In 2015, SumOfUs helped to push airline companies such as Delta to stop shipping hunting trophies,[10] lobbied Canadian officials to charge Nestle responsible water rates for drawing water from public lands,[11] and helped get Standard Chartered Bank to cancel its financing of Adani's giant Australian coal mine.[12] MethodologySumOfUs uses digital technology to organize and communicate globally, connecting consumers, workers and investors from around the world.[5] One of SumOfUs’ primary functions is to amplify other corporate accountability organizations' campaigns by launching rapid-response campaigns.{{cn|date=February 2017}} The online campaigning NGO operates using lean start-up methodology, by adapting the “minimum viable product”[13] model to the online campaigning field. SumOfUs mirrors corporations’ global perspective and power base – and transcends national boundaries to take advantage of transnational companies’ vulnerabilities.[13] Financial contributorsSumOfUs is a registered 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit. Around 85% of SumOfUs funds come from small donations from its members.[14] SumOfUs publishes the source of revenues every year on its web site.[15] According to the Form 990 SumOfUs filed for 2016, $631,515 was contributed by a single anonymous person.[16] According to the Form 990 SumOfUs filed for 2015, $595,000 was contributed by two anonymous donors.[17] CommunitySumOfUs campaigns in English, French, and German.
