The Nature Conservancy Announces New Corporate Gift-Giving Center

Businesses: Go Green this Holiday Season by Giving Gifts that Give Back to Nature

New York, NY — November 10, 2008 — This year, companies of all sizes can recognize their staff, customers, clients and partners in an easy and Earth-friendly way by giving special Nature Conservancy gifts through the organization’s new online corporate giving center at www.nature.org/holidaypartner.

Businesses can download a wide range of materials to meet their corporate giving needs. The center allows for self-fulfillment—thus cutting down on delivery time, packaging and transportation costs.

“By giving a gift through The Nature Conservancy’s corporate giving center, companies can be environmentally conscious, leave a smaller carbon footprint and make a lasting difference this holiday season,” said Kathy Moser, co-director of The Nature Conservancy of New York. “Some companies are donating $1 to plant a tree in honor of each of their customers; others are adopting an acre of forest in the United States or abroad.”

Current gift options on the online corporate gift giving center include:

Holiday Gift Cards—One tree is planted for every holiday gift card you buy
The Adopt an Acre Program—Adopt an acre in the United States, Africa, Australia or Costa Rica
The Plant a Billion Trees Campaign—Plant a tree for only $1 in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest
The Rescue the Reef Program—Protect the amazingly biologically diverse coral reefs of Palau
Nature Conservancy Gift Membership—Recipients will receive all of the Conservancy’s exclusive membership benefits, including a 1-year subscription to its award-winning magazine
Employee Matching Gifts—Match your employees’ donations to The Nature Conservancy
Nature Conservancy Merchandise—Choose from a wide array of nature-themed gifts
