Fundraise for BG!

When you raise funds for BurlingtonGreen, you’re helping local children, youth and adults of all ages right here at home make a difference for the future of our planet.

All funds go directly to local environmental awareness, advocacy and action!

See below for creative, eco-friendly fundraiser ideas and tips for success.

INCREASE THE IMPACT OF YOUR LITTER CLEAN UP

Our Litter League Challenge provides an attractive and convenient online platform for requesting donations to amplify the impact of your litter clean up. You can create a fundraising page for an individual, family or larger group like a company. We can help you expand your Litter League Challenge for some fun competition between teams, and we can help you through the process. Details here.

COLLECT E-WASTE FOR ONE OF OUR DROP-OFF EVENTS

Organize a mini-collection of electronic waste with your friends, co-workers, neighbourhood, school, club or community group. No need to find a recycling partner – just drop off your items at our next Zero Waste Event! You’ll help generate funds to power our work throughout the year, while supporting the circular economy. Contact us for tips and more information.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

For weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, an e-waste collection (see above) and other milestones, simply let people know that if they’d like to make a gift, what you’d love above all is a donation toward a clean, green future through the vital work of BurlingtonGreen.
