Sponsorship
drive
We're
running a fundraising drive.
To kick start
the united conservation movement in Ontario we need to raise
$100,000 in sponsorships and donations for the Great Green
Directory, promoting "I Conserve", setting up local Conservation
Action Networks, and piloting a universal green star rating system
(see
here for the details). Some pretty amazing projects.
We’re going to
need a few big sponsors, and a whole lot of friends.
Our first priority
is to update the
Green Ontario website to Web 2.0 technology. Started in 1994,
Green Ontario is Ontario’s longest-running environmental directory
and clearinghouse on environmental resources.
The updated version
will layer in a detailed database onto our existing factsheets. Not
only will it allow people across Ontario to access resources on all
kinds of conservation products, services and incentives, it will
document who’s doing what in Ontario’s conservation movement.
OPTION A –
$5,000 sponsorship
Straight
and easy. $5,000 gets you a hot-linked logo on the front page of
both our websites:
www.weconserve.ca and
www.greenontario.org (Join the Conservation Bureau as an early
sponsor!).
OPTION B – Be a
Friend of Conservation
Contribute
what you can!
We will list
all supporters (corporate and individual) on our sponsors page with
a web link. Plus you'll be first on the list to be entered into the
Great Green Directory. Suggested categories include:
$250 -- hey, we're small but we're in
$500 -- getting to know you
$1,000 -- you're doing great
$5,000+ -- show us what you can do!
Personal
contributions
For
individuals,
OPTION C – Let’s
Make a Deal
Contribution
Agreements
This is the
exciting one. We’d like you to be creative and link your
contributions to your conservation products and services. Examples
include The Beer Store (donating 1/3 of coin box revenue), the Citizens
Bank of Canada green mortgage (a $100 donation as part of each green
mortgage sold), and our newest sponsor Fever Performance Wear
(donating $2 of every bamboo product sold).
We also accept
major sponsorships from governments and larger companies with a
demonstrated commitment to conservation in their operations and
products.
Long-term
sponsorships and contribution agreements will be given marquis
billing on our websites and related material.
