Why should my company be involved?
- We support the most effective conservation organisations – through a rigorous screening process, we are supporting conservation projects worldwide.
- Strength in numbers – by pooling resources with nearly 140 other Outdoor Companies, collectively we can put a larger amount of support and money into selected projects than individuals could on their own. Not only this, but membership of the Association gives companies an environmental giving programme without any in-house administrative or staff costs.
- We have a track record of success – although the Association has been up and running for 12 years, we have supported over 100 projects to the tune of over €2,400,000 ... and that’s just for starters!
- Every Association member can nominate up to 3 projects every year they would like to see supported with grants of up to €30,000 available.
- You – and every member your staff can help determine where we contribute our funding through our annual voting procedure.
