Organize a fundraiser to support BGs work in the community.  This could be associated with an employee engagement activity, such as a litter clean up day, lunch and learn, bake sale, dress-down day, Earth Day, employee volunteer day removing invasive plant species with BG, tag sale, party, talent show, special event or other celebrations.  Please review our Guide to Fundraising for BG and contact us for next steps.  

Ask your human resources or corporate donations department if your company matches gifts, and how you can have your gifts to BG matched by your employer.

If your employer uses an online gift matching service, like Benevity, let us know so we can include BurlingtonGreen funding opportunities among the options. 

Many companies encourage employee volunteerism by providing corporate donations to charities where their employees volunteer. You can include BurlingtonGreen as a volunteer opportunity that you promote with your team. Here is a sample description you can share with your employees:

BurlingtonGreen offers a wide range of rewarding and fun volunteer opportunities for families (all ages) and community members 14 years of age or older: tree planting and care; litter clean ups; ambassadors for BG at outreach booths and events; waste sorting at community events; habitat restoration and invasive plant species removal, and more. Join other enthusiastic community members volunteering for a cleaner, greener, more environmentally responsible Burlington. Check out BG’s volunteer opportunities.

Consider honouring a retiring colleague with a corporate donation, possibly coupled with an opportunity for co workers to also donate in their honour. Personalized donation campaigns can be created using our online campaign platform through CanadaHelps or we can develop a customized donation form. See more in our Guide to Fundraising for BG or contact Amy, our Executive Director, to discuss your ideas.

Promote a product or service with a portion of sales donated to help raise environmental awareness, action and advocacy in Burlington.  Or partner with BG on an awareness and action campaign to activate a key audience in Burlington. Your promotion will provide unrestricted support toward the greatest need at BG, but it may also be possible to benefit a specific BG program such as Children, Youth, or Advocacy. We would love to hear your ideas.

We proudly recognize our corporate supporters in a variety of ways.  Please contact  Amy, our Executive Director to talk about program areas that align with your company’s interests. 

Your company can donate online or offline.

Online donations: Donating online is fast and secure through our partner CanadaHelps. Simply check the box indicating that the donation is on behalf of a company, and the charitable donation receipt will be delivered instantly to your email inbox.

Monthly Giving provides sustainable support to our programs. You can set up a monthly gift from your company on our online donation form. Just decide the amount and continue as long as you like. Your monthly support sparks a year of power for change! 

You can also donate by mail or phone, using our offline donation form.

Financial contributions provide us with the greatest flexibility and opportunity to fulfill our programming needs but we also have supply needs that help us deliver our important work.

Please contact us with your questions and to learn more.

Take care of your family first, then be sure to leave a legacy for a greener future by setting up a gift through your will, life insurance, appreciated securities, or other assets. These can be very tax-wise ways to give.  See our Legacy Giving Guide including sample bequest language. You can use our online form to donate securities or mutual funds.

Carbon Offsets can be really complicated and they’re not all created equal. 

If you have emissions you can’t avoid, why not offset them by contributing to meaningful climate action work right here in Burlington? 

We’ll convert your donation into local tree planting, awareness-building, campaigns for sustainable policies, and much more. 

We applaud everyone who is flying less, which is one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions! If you must travel, we encourage you to do everything you can to reduce the rest of your carbon footprint. Check out this article on choosing an offset.
