Personal Sponsors
One of the easiest ways to make a multi-year gift is to become a sponsor. Sponsors are generous donors who make a multi-year commitment to help us reach our goals. What is a Sponsor’s commitment? We ask sponsors to sign a five-year pledge agreement for $5,000, which can be paid in advance or in yearly installments of $1,000. In return, you will receive a profile and yearly updates on the programs. Contact us if you would like to get involved or have questions.
Guarding the Gifts believes in the power of partnerships and collaborative efforts. We believe these efforts are critical factors in the success of long-term programs. Our team works closely with multi-national corporations, national companies and small to medium-sized businesses to identify, design and implement opportunities that leverage the strengths, intellectual resources and assets of the corporate sector to support conservation in the Gitga’at community and their territory in the Great Bear Rainforest.
