Every business benefits from having a positive public image and a strong environmental track record. If you can help SAVE THE FROGS! through any of the methods listed below, we will ensure you receive proper acknowledgement through our website and mailing lists.

Donations are our primary source of funding, and we can not be here without your support. SAVE THE FROGS! is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charity and thus your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Our IRS determination letter is available upon request.

Frog Sponsorship

 

Ways your business can help SAVE THE FROGS!

Sponsor Save The Frogs Day, April 29, 2011

Make your company an official corporate sponsor of the 3rd Annual Save The Frogs Day. Your company will gain valuable positive publicity and we would be certain to visibly acknowledge your company's assistance on the highly viewed Save The Frogs Day webpage, and on associated print materials.

Dedicate a day to SAVE THE FROGS!

Choose one day each year (or month!) and dedicate 10% of that day's sales to SAVE THE FROGS!. This is a great marketing tool, as it gives clients incentive to purchase, and reflects well on your company. If you give us advance notice, we can likely help you market the day. We may also be able to provide you with SAVE THE FROGS! wristbands that you can give to the day's customers as thank-you gifts.

Choose a percentage

Dedicate a portion of your company's annual sales or profit to SAVE THE FROGS!. We can potentially list you as an official corporate sponsor and license you use of our logo to help you advertise your business' frog-friendly ways.

Matching Gifts

Many companies will match donations that employees give to the public charity of their choice. Please talk to your company's community involvement officer or payroll department to have them match your donation to SAVE THE FROGS! You will be effectively doubling your donation.

Volunteer Service Hours

Does your business allow its employees to volunteer a certain number of hours per month? If so, SAVE THE FROGS! could use your assistance! Please contact us at volunteer@savethefrogs.com.

Is the SAVE THE FROGS! logo on your website?

SAVE THE FROGS! logoAdd the SAVE THE FROGS! logo/link to your company's website and help spread awareness of the amphibian extinction crisis. Please link it to http://savethefrogs.com

Your homepage is a fantastic place for this, but there are other great locations as well: where do your customers go after finalizing their transaction on your website? Rather than let them drift off into cyberspace, please add our logo/link to that page and suggest they visit the SAVE THE FROGS! website to learn about ways they can help SAVE THE FROGS!.

Let your customers donate to SAVE THE FROGS!

Many airlines' online ticket purchasing system allows their customers to purchase a carbon offset. Similarly, on your company's checkout page, you could add our logo and the statement "Our company supports worldwide amphibian conservation efforts" and allow the customer to donate $1 to SAVE THE FROGS!. This would be added to their bill, and at month's end your company could make a tax-deductible donation to SAVE THE FROGS! for the total amount raised. If your company wishes, you could then match those funds. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about this simple way to help SAVE THE FROGS!.

Donate your used vehicles to SAVE THE FROGS!

Car donationsYour company likely finds itself with used cars, trucks or boats that need to be sold or disposed of. SAVE THE FROGS! is in search of cars that can be used for purposes such as giving free public lectures on the amphibian extinction crisis, and conducting scientific research. While we use fuel-efficient cars for these purposes, we are seeking donations of any car, truck, RV or boat, as we have partnered with a company that sells these vehicles at auctions or junkyards and donates a significant amount of the money earned to SAVE THE FROGS!. This company will pick up your used vehicle at any location in the United States, so please contact us if you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to SAVE THE FROGS! The process is simple and quick!

Donate your company's old computers

Upgrading to new computers and wondering what to do with your old one? SAVE THE FROGS! is in search of high-quality laptops. Please contact us if you have a functional laptop that is 2006 or newer.

Donate your expertise

If you provide a service that you feel may be of use to us, please contact us.

Save the frogs with your product's label or boxes

Most products come with packaging (sometimes too much!). You can help spread theword about the amphibian extinction crisis by adding "Check out savethefrogs.com" onto your product's labels or your printed advertisements. We may also be able to license your company to add our logo and url to your products' boxes/packaging.

Educate your customers with our info flyers

Include one of our informational 4x6" flyers in the package with each order you send your customers. These flyers only cost three cents each and are a great way to educate your customers and spread the word about SAVE THE FROGS!.

Amphibian Conservation Awards in your name

SAVE THE FROGS! will disburse awards, grants and scholarships to highly-qualified undergraduate, graduate (Masters, Ph.D.) and postdoctoral researchers. These awards will fund important amphibian conservation work, and will provide young scientists incentive to pursue careers in herpetology. If your company donates money to fund such an award, we can potentially name the award in honor of your company; i.e. The Smith & Sons Amphibian Conservation Award.

Advertise on savethefrogs.com

Environmental AdvertisingYour advertisement on our site will be seen by a large number of environmentally conscious internet users, and can be used to improve your company's environmental image. Revenues we receive from your advertisement will allow SAVE THE FROGS! to more effectively accomplish our amphibian conservation goals. We offer very reasonable rates.

Be on our homepage

The World Conservation Union (IUCN) estimates that worldwide amphibian conservation efforts require a minimum of $82 million per year. If your business or organization donates $10,000 or more to SAVE THE FROGS!, we will (1) gratefully acknowledge your contribution to amphibian conservation in a visible location on our homepage for a time period of one year; (2) create a $2,000 Amphibian Conservation Award in the name of your business. This award will help fund the research expenses of one exceptionally talented graduate student researcher. Graduate student research is the primary contributor to our knowledge of amphibian biology, ecology and conservation; (3) allow you to host a free lecture on frogs by SAVE THE FROGS! Executive Director Dr. Kerry Kriger; (4) provide you with a 'Certified Frog-Friendly' button to put on your official web site; this button will link viewers to a dedicated SAVE THE FROGS! web page that confirms your 'Frog-Friendly' status and explains what you have done to support amphibian conservation; and (5) send you a specially made "Proud Supporter of SAVE THE FROGS!" banner in recognition of your assistance to put on the wall of your reception area.
