Sponsor Park Projects

The Nature Corps’ Critical Role
Due to budgetary shortfalls, the National Park Service lacks the manpower to utilize all available volunteers. Consequently, The Nature Corps plays a critical role as a facilitating agency to interface with a concerned and willing public and to organize teams of volunteers to assist in the design, planning, and implementation of critical conservation projects.

Your Sponsorship Is A Strategic Investment
In order to facilitate an emergent volunteer force your sponsorship will help to establish Nature Corps teams in the National Parks. These teams will provide the essential infrastructure to accommodate greater numbers of desperately needed volunteers. Your “strategic sponsorship” would allow for the development of a model volunteer management program that would be replicated in other National Parks allowing for the mobilization of a concerned public to take part in an historic effort to preserve our National Parks.

Your are invited
The Nature Corps invites corporations, private foundations and individuals to build on their commitment to the environmental by sponsoring a Nature Corps team in one of the following National Parks:

Yosemite
Sequoia
Kings Canyon
Channel Islands
Grand Canyon
Yellowstone
Great Smoky Mountains
Acadia
Hawaii Volcanoes

These Nature Corps teams will provide the essential infrastructure and volunteer programs that are needed to accommodate greater numbers of desperately needed volunteers. In the long run, your sponsorship will allow for the development of a model volunteer management program that will be replicated in other National Parks across the United States allowing for the mobilization of a concerned public to take part in an historic effort to preserve our National Parks.

The Next Step:
Starting in May of 2007 The Nature Corps will be implementing several conservation projects in the parks. To support its volunteer conservation programs, TNC invites your agency to sponsor a Nature Corps team in one of the above mentioned National Parks.

Levels of Sponsorship:

Giant Sequoia Benefactor:
$50,000 would enable The Nature Corps to implement its strategic model program in Yosemite/Sequoia National Parks by funding more than 350 volunteers from the general public to work on a variety of park projects. In addition to making the program available to the general public, through this exclusive sponsorship your agency would be provided with:

Three employee volunteer/teambuilding outings to assist on priority conservation projects
Recognition as a major sponsor in all press releases and public service announcements
Placement of your company logo on volunteer merchandise and program brochures, and
Company highlighted on Nature Corps website. As a result of a widespread media recruitment campaign, the public will be directed to the website to register prior to volunteering on park projects. While visiting the site, the public would recognize your agency’s support.

Sequoia Guardian:
$25,000 sponsorship includes:

Two employee outings. View a complete listing of services

Placement of Oxy logo on program brochures distributed to park volunteers

Sequoia Seedling:
$10,000 sponsorship includes one employee outing
