Love rainforest? Love helping people?
We are looking for volunteers to help us gather donations for our Christmas fundraiser! We need great items to sell in a live and silent auction. All proceeds go directly to our clean water and rainforest initiatives in the Congo River Basin.
It's actually quite easy. Usually, all you have to do is ask. Businesses love to give products and services to great causes! Thet get exposure while helping!
A great way to get donations is to go store-to-store-to-restaurant-etc. In downtown Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro, for example, you could easily get hundreds to thousands in donations by going into local establishments asking for gift baskets, products and/or gift certificates for meals, hotel stays, bar tabs, etc. Of course, you can also email and/or call for donations.
It really is fun! Local businesses love to support local nonprofits and they also love the exposure to their business and being able to contribute in a very meaningful way to rainforest conservation and helping people!
We will provide you with brochures as well as an "ask" letter and nonprofit information you can use to ask for donations.
Give us a shout if you are interested! We hope to work with you soon!

About Go Conscious Earth
Location:
1000 WILLBEA RD, DURHAM, NC 27705, US
Mission Statement
Go Conscious Earth protects African rainforests and the animals that live there by partnering with indigenous communities to eliminate extreme poverty and cultivate sustainable practices.
Description
GCE has conserved one million acres of rainforest so far. Our unique approach not only raises the quality of the lives of the indigenous people living here but also leads to more rainforest conservation initiatives in the DRC. Working within the communities on Lac Tumba to protect tribal lands rights helps alleviate poverty and is an extremely effective way to save rainforest. Even as we begin our community initiatives in the currently conserved rainforest for the Bantomba tribe, we are beginning the process of conserving the adjacent one million acres, and we will work with the communities there to create and implement projects that they decide are necessary for their health, survival, and well-being.
