Types of Giving

How companies can support our work

The Rainforest Alliance offers varied corporate philanthropy opportunities, including mission-aligned partnerships and program partnerships. 

Mission-aligned partnerships

Over half of global economic activity depends on nature, yet most philanthropy is short-term and fragmented. Flexible funding allows the Rainforest Alliance to address risks holistically and consistently over time, across landscapes and supply chains. In this way, we help safeguard the natural systems that businesses rely on to succeed.

Benefits of mission-aligned support include:

Visibility

The Rainforest Alliance is one of the world’s most trusted and widely recognized sustainability organizations. Partnering with us boosts your sustainability credentials with investors, customers, and other stakeholders.

Expertise

When you provide flexible support to the Rainforest Alliance, you and your employees benefit from our expertise. Invitations to our external events and access to employee engagement events like webinars and speaker series can boost employee retention. These benefits also enrich your company culture and show your commitment to sustainability.

Future-proof your business

92 percent of business leaders agree that the cost of climate inaction now exceeds the cost of a sustainability transition. Supporting the Rainforest Alliance, with our long history of achieving positive change, is a powerful way to protect your bottom line.

Program partnerships

With 80 donor-funded projects active around the world, the Rainforest Alliance offers companies a proven path to creating measurable impact. Investing in established programs or funding new projects is an effective way to drive systemic change, whether your priorities lie in human rights, climate, carbon, regenerative agriculture, or biodiversity.
