Gift a Tree - Clients and Colleagues

$5.00 AUD
Approx $3.26 USD

Description:


The perfect corporate feel-good Christmas gift for your clients!
We understand the significance of expressing gratitude to your valued clients with a token of appreciation. This year, we invite your business to embark on a unique and lasting journey – one that not only resonates with your corporate identity but also leaves a positive impact for generations to come.

Rather than the conventional logo on a water bottle or coffee mug that may go unnoticed, consider redirecting your investment towards a gift that breathes life into our environment. For just $5, you can gift a tree – a symbol of clean air, eco-friendly animal habitats, and a reduction in carbon emissions.

Let's put this into perspective: if your usual budget for Corporate Christmas gifts is around $1,000, that amount can now contribute to the planting of 200 magnificent trees. Imagine the profound effect this forest of appreciation will have on the local environment and habitats. You'll be providing more oxygen, creating resilient wildlife sanctuaries, and enhancing ecosystems – a truly remarkable return on investment.

But here's the best part – these trees won't just adorn a shelf; they will be entrusted to local volunteers who will plant them in carefully chosen locations, ensuring they not only survive but thrive. Your gift will keep on giving for years to come.

Upon your generous donation, we'll provide you with a digital gift certificate to share with your clients, showcasing the positive impact your business is making on the local environment. Furthermore, as a Not-For-Profit organization run by volunteers, your contribution is entirely tax-deductible – a win-win scenario!

This Christmas, join us in pursuing an audacious goal. Together, we aim to plant 1,000 trees through Corporate Gift Giving. Imagine the collective impact we can achieve by simply giving a tree!

It's as simple as this:

  • $1,000 = 200 trees
  • $750 = 150 trees
  • $500 = 100 trees
  • $200 = 40 trees
  • $100 = 20 trees
  • $50 = 10 trees
  • $30 = 6 trees

Let's make this holiday season not just about gift-giving but about giving back to the environment and creating a legacy of sustainability. You gift them, and we'll get them and plant them!

Together for a greener and more sustainable future.
