What is Green Planet Fundraising?
Green Planet Fundraising is a NO-COST fundraising platform for Charities, Non-Profits, and other organizations who wish to raise money and help protect the environment.
How does it work?
It's simple!
1. Register your organization (for free).
2. Tell your donors about the program.
3. Donors visit the site and purchase a tree for $10 each.
4. Your organization receives $4 or $5 for each tree.
5. A tree is planted and the world becomes a better place.
Why is there a difference is the money we receive?
The difference depends on who plants the tree.
If your organization is capable and willing to plant the tree(s) we will ship them to you at no cost. Your organization can then plant where ever you like and you'll receive and extra $1 ($5 total) per tree.
Otherwise, Green Planet Fundraising arranges to have the tree(s) professionally planted. We strategically plant them so as to have as much positive environmental impact as possible. Your organization then receives $4 for each tree purchased by your donors.
What types of trees do you plant?
We plant a wide variety of trees. Tree types are selected based on what grows natively in the region and to achieve maximum environmental impact.
Mature trees can absorb roughly 48 pounds of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) a year. The tree in turn releases enough oxygen to sustain two human beings.
Trees also absorb harmful industrial runoff keeping pollutants out of our waterways. The USDA reports that 100 mature trees can reduce runoff caused by rainfall by up to 100,000 gallons!
