Benefits:

Employees want it.

More than ever before, the public is becoming aware of the urgent environmental challenges we face as a society. Employers and employees are concerned about environmental causes and issues that affect them and their families, our well-being and livlihood, and future generations.

Introducing an environmental choice to a workplace giving campaign typically encourages employees who did not participate in the past to get involved. What makes Earth Share appealing is its "one-gift" option: donors don't have to choose between supporting public health, clean air and water, land and wildlife preservation, and other issues. By making just one gift to Earth Share, their support will be distributed among all the causes Earth Share represents. On the other hand, if they have a preference donors can choose to direct their gift to one or more charities under the federation umbrella.

Empowering employees with expanded giving options has also proven to be a morale booster!

It's good for business.

Did you know that nearly 80% of Americans favor companies with a pro-environment image, and almost 75% said they're more likely to support companies and products associated with an environmental group?

A company can position itself as a leader on the environmental front by including Earth Share in its charitable campaign. Employees, managers, and shareholders alike consider the environment vitally important.

It's good for the world.

Earth Share is a preserver, a protector, and an educator. Earth Share organizations are combating global warming and protecting ancient forests. They're guarding ground water from toxic contaminants and saving endangered species. They're promoting scores of recycling projects. They're cleaning up miles and miles of coastline and they're providing school children with educational programs and activities that instill environmental awareness.

Becoming an Earth Share partner sends a definite message - your workplace and its people care.
