Big Gift Conservation: 4 Ways

Be a Part of Something Big!

Every year, students and teachers around the U.S. raise funds to purchase and protect threatened habitats and conserve critically endangered species. Since 1989, their combined efforts have raised $6.25 million to save more than 400,000 acres of rainforest and other endangered habitat.

You can help, too!

Big Gift 4 Ways
Big Gift 2010 will save threatened rainforest in Colombian Chocó, a biodiversity hotspot famous for its large numbers of animal and plant species. Every acre we save will combat global warming by offsetting 66,000 pounds of carbon pollution in the United States. That’s seven times the amount of carbon emitted in one year by the average family car!

Our Big Gift turtle site is also active this year. Help us protect critically endangered leatherback sea turtles in the eastern Pacific by making a donation to protect nesting mothers, eggs and hatchlings at Playa Grande.

And you can still help protect African elephants by supporting Maasai communities in Tanzania. The Maasai hare committed to preserving their traditional grazing practices in order to protect grasslands that support healthy populations of African elephants.

The No-fundraising Alternative for Grades 4-9: In 2010, every class that does an Earth Day Science Symposium activity will trigger a donation from a Big Gift conservation partner to save rainforest, protect sea turtles or conserve elephant habitat.

Easy Giving
Request free Earth banks for the easiest fundraiser ever, do your own favorite fundraising activity or select something new from our FUNdraising list.

To support Maasai communities and conserve elephant habitat, purchase an elephant bracelet.

Make a personal donation today to save rainforest and support students and teachers!

Every penny, nickel, dime and quarter counts!

“This is our thirteenth year of donating, and we are just as excited and enthusiastic as we were that very first year!” Kathy Lewis, Juanamaria School
