Partnering with Alberta Ecotrust provides tangible benefits for corporations and nonprofit organizations – and for Alberta's
Improving environmental health
Alberta Ecotrust's partners work together to strategically grant more than $500,000 annually to projects that have very real environmental benefits - on water, on wilderness and wildlife, on air and climate - in Alberta and beyond. Collectively, we have an excellent understanding of the environmental issues that are most important to Albertans, and of which groups around the province are working on them towards positive solutions. This allows us to wisely invest our donors' support in the best way possible.
Encouraging collaboration
Alberta Ecotrust's partnership model brings together non-traditional allies who do not normally have the chance to collaborate to improve environmental health. This allows a variety of stakeholders to use their diverse skill sets to make the best granting decisions possible, and to help inform and support (and ultimately strengthen) Alberta's voluntary sector.
Partnership also dissipates misunderstanding and animosity and encourages mutual respect that is carried way beyond the Alberta Ecotrust boardroom. This unique partnership promotes good relationships between the corporate and voluntary sectors by encouraging interactions that lead to an understanding of the barriers, challenges and environmental issues facing us all.
Enhancing your public profile
Involvement as an Alberta Ecotrust partner is an effective way to actualize core corporate and organizational values. By becoming an Alberta Ecotrust partner, you are making a public commitment to protecting our environment and building a strong and effective voluntary sector working on environmental issues. Better yet, you are participating in an organization that makes a real and tangible difference on the ground and in communities.
Nonprofit and corporate partners must be willing to commit the time of one volunteer to participate in the grant review process.
