Eco Days
Tackling the climate crisis and advancing environmental stewardship is complex and the solutions are many. And we don’t have time to wait.
Earth Gives supports companies, organizations, and even those with a personal passion to adopt or embrace their own giving days, branded in a way that suits you. Work with us to leverage the giving day platform for your own day, week or month rallying your own community to invest in a mix of nonprofits or a specific mission focus. In person events and knowledge-building can also be integrated.
Pick a theme! wildlife, agriculture, environmental justice, renewables, urban infrastructure, STEM education, renewables, National Environmental Education Week, Clean Air Week, Endangered Species Week, National Trails Day, Green the New Year, black history and the environment. Ideas are endless. We can help you align efforts with your sustainability ethos and goals.
Do you want to retain and attract employees? Are you looking for an ideal way to activate your employees in team building efforts? Want a way to engage your clients, customers, inspire communities of interest? Maybe even bring along your vendors and others to spread your good work?
Specialty eco days can be adopted, created, and developed to fit your needs.
Create local and deep impact. Build relationships. Showcase how businesses can partner deeply and model how every individual can “own” a part of the necessary action on this most consequential issue.

Our team will work with yours to tailor-make an exciting campaign for your company or organization – big or small.
A few key steps to get your business going:
Bring on the Earth Gives team to help you develop your concept and campaign about 6 months in advance.
We’ll help you find your perfect issue area or theme, set up a prize fund, and all the other details that can support your inaugural year, and the annual events for years to come.
Consider how to rally a diverse corporate team that includes cross-department engagement to advance team development and creativity throughout this effort.
Note for nonprofits interested in developing a collaboration around a theme:
If a number of nonprofits are interested in teaming up to create a specific giving day or week around a them, such as STEM education and the environment, we would love to help you, including sharing your theme days or week with potential corporate supporters. Key elements will be centered around impactful outcomes that advance inclusive community building and connection, and that offer local or more broad transformational efforts on the climate and the environment.
