A CARING COMMUNITY IN SUPPORT OF CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENTAL NONPROFITS.

EARTH GIVES

The most successful giving day raised nearly $60 million in 24 hours. Giving Tuesday generated half a billion in online giving in 2020.

The damage to our planet is already burdening our political and economic systems, but these stresses will grow exponentially in the coming years — ravaging the lives of our children and their children for many generations unless we act to mitigate climate change now. One needn’t believe that global warming will cause the

end of civilization as we know it to recognize the crushing

demands it will put on our physical, economic, political, and

social systems, with devastating consequences for everyone.

– LARRY KRAMER, PRESIDENT, HEWLETT FOUNDATION

Yet, as great as the threats are, environmental organizations - representing millions of staff, volunteers, board members and donors -

receive only 3% of total charitable giving. (Giving USA)

The inaugural nationwide launch through the giving day platform at EarthGives.org is planned for October 7, 2021. EARTH GIVES will grow more than revenues. It will grow actionable and impactful opportunities to collaborate, innovate, educate, and inspire citizens across the country to be an active part of the solution and to alter the trajectory of the climate crisis. The mission of EARTH GIVES is to catalyze people, resources, and attention toward the climate crisis resulting in a welcoming and livable world where humanity and the planet thrive.

We are now seeking seed capital and partnerships from businesses and individuals that align with the urgency of this initiative. Committed partners will work with us to inspire people to engage and move toward transformation. The opportunities for founding partners are included here. Your commitment has the potential to generate a significant ripple effect across thousands of environmental organizations, the communities they serve, and the people who benefit from their important work. The time is now. Please join us in this endeavor.

“The climate crisis is the largest threat to every single person and living thing on this planet. We must make sure that we include everyone in our solutions because everyone needs to be uplifted.” – Nadia Nazar, founder, co-executive director & art director, Zero Hour

BE PART OF THE START… It’s beyond time to up the investment in environmental solutions - first through philanthropy and individual giving - and then through sustained mindful shifts in consumer habits and engagement.

EARTH GIVES is our strategy and your opportunity to have a profound impact on the most consequential issue of our time – the climate crisis. EARTH GIVES DAY is a 24-hour catalyzing event using a proven platform to unite businesses, nonprofits, philanthropists, and the public in a time-constrained, highly publicized, highly inspired effort to drive resources and attention to overlooked environmental nonprofits.

In support of the Inaugural Year event, participate in or host launch announcements and other corporate positioning opportunities.

Invite environmental nonprofits with whom you already partner to get involved in EARTH GIVES. Together create your own unique giving efforts that might be tailored to your employees or those you seek to recruit, your targeted customers and stakeholders and other key audiences.

Make in-kind contributions that will support the initiative, where appropriate.

Business “seed investors” will commit to:

As a sponsor and seed investor in the start-up and launch of EARTH GIVES, set for October 7, 2021, your leadership will pave the way for years of success in mobilizing change and enhancing the capacity of hundreds, if not thousands, of nonprofits and their missions addressing the climate crisis and protecting the environment.

You are helping build a connected ecosystem of committed businesses, organizations and individuals to play a role in embracing the changes necessary, and helping drive solutions big and small through education, knowledge and personal action. Your contribution will support the capacity and collaboration of EARTH GIVES and its work with NeonOne’s

proven technology platform to communicate the urgency of our initiative, drive in the resources to celebrated organizations across the country. We invite big creative thinkers and partners as we shape this exciting effort with a “roll-up-our-sleeves” effort to develop, deploy and impactfully scale this initiative across the country.

Seed Investors/Sponsors

The Benefits of Seed Investment

A lead position in a nationwide

collaborative effort that will

reach millions of individuals

connected to the thousands

of nonprofit organizations and

the communities they serve – a

direct to consumer messaging

platform leveraged by and through

the nonprofits engaged in the

initiative.

Placement and

acknowledgement as one of the

inaugural companies that made

the initiative possible, with the

ability to highlight the impacts and

ripple effects of your investment to

key stakeholders.

The opportunity to leverage

involvement in EARTH GIVES with

employees for the purposes of

culture and relationship-building

- for example, through contests,

learning labs, and enhanced

retention and recruitment

strategies. Special “business pages”

are available on the platform

to engage your employees and

customers as well.

A seat on the EARTH GIVES

Advisory Board.

The opportunity to serve as

a spokesperson and champion for

EARTH GIVES efforts that might

include participation in the launch

announcement, earned media,

and special video messages to

the participating nonprofits,

among others.

Input on messaging,

positioning and business

brand integration with

EARTH GIVES activities.

EARTH GIVES

Partners There are several needs and

opportunities presented in this

initiative and its potential reach

and impact. We welcome other

individuals and organizations

who align with our intent to build

a more caring and connected

community of change. This might

mean support for messaging,

outreach, PR, advertising, content

development, ambassadors for the

cause, and other options.

Philanthropic ‘Prize fund’ donor Typically raised through

individuals, foundations and grant

dollars, this investment is used to

“incentivize” nonprofits to

participate and heighten their

efforts to promote the giving day

to their communities and circle of

influence. A “leaderboard” of sorts

is established with a number of

categories, depending on the size

of the total fund, or the interest of

the specific funder. While typical

giving days always have prize

dollars for “most donors” or “most

dollars” raised, other categories

can support specific efforts.

Examples include: most dollars

and donors generated for large,

medium and smaIl nonprofits; best

duo of large and small nonprofits

who team up to help one another

through shared messages;

those impacting underserved

communities; science/climate

education for youth; internships/

jobs/summer jobs; community

engagement/volunteer mobilizing/

organizing; environmental justice;

Tribal lands; Pollution; Ocean;

Wildlife; Agriculture/Farming/Soil;

among others.

Media partners Our intent is to engage all media

to share the message for 1-2 weeks

prior to the event and throughout

the designated day. There are

important audiences to reach out

to through key media partners that

are important for business seed

investors, and other engagement

for a B2C ecosystem.

Swag Partners We seek business who will support

the production of Earth Gives

sustainable swag that can be

ordered by nonprofits and donors,

generating revenue for Earth Gives

and advancing the brand and the

message as an Earth Giver. This

are additional opportunities for a

business partnership in this area –

one that is focused on products for

the more conscious consumer.

Sponsors for the inaugural

year are also welcome at the

following levels to help Earth

Gives build capacity: $25,000;

$10,000, $5,000, $1,000 and

other individual donors. Please

contact us to discuss your

interest or to arrange for your

investment payment (echecks

and ACH are available).
