WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

The Fresh Outlook Foundation provides a needed service using proven behavior-change tools, but its long-term success depends ultimately on innovative, supportive, and lasting relationships with stakeholders from the public, private, civic, academic, and innovation sectors. To that end, partnerships between the foundation and target-specific audiences such as local governments, businesses, industries, universities, community groups, and residents are cultivated carefully to ensure mutual benefit. These partnerships help stakeholders achieve their sustainability goals while providing the foundation with strategic, operational, and financial support.

Your participation as a donor, sponsor, partner, facilitator, or volunteer is critically important to the foundation’s future. We guarantee it will be an enriching experience that furthers your sustainability objectives while helping the foundation realize its passion of “kindling a fresh outlook among British Columbians that inspires sustainable behaviors at home, work, and play.”

Sponsors

• Sponsors are individuals or organizations who support the foundation financially through one-time or regular contributions in exchange for exposure or agreed-upon products or services. Sponsors enjoy tangible benefits, including:
  • Affiliation with a credible, leading-edge organization and the promotion of sustainability
  • Opportunities to publicize their organization as a financial supporter
  • Exposure to provocative, user-friendly, and timely information that will help build sustainability thinking into their business strategies

  Both donors and sponsors can give confidently, knowing the foundation:
  • guarantees legal, ethical, and sound fundraising and financial policies and practices (see Fundraising Policy and Financial Management Policy);
  • adheres to strict privacy policies (see Privacy Policy); and
  • recognizes donors and sponsors promptly and appropriately (see Case Statement).
  
  

Partners

• Partners are individuals or groups from the public, private, civic, academic, or innovation sectors that help develop, implement, and evaluate foundation programs, products, and services through strategic or operational support. For example, Chambers of Commerce in a particular region might work with the foundation to develop a sustainability awareness program specifically for business owners. Not only would chamber members have access to the resulting program — which would meets their particular wants and needs — but the chambers would be appropriately recognized in all program documentation and on the website’s Thanking Partners page. Become a partner now by contacting the foundation at 250-766-1777 or info@freshoutlookfoundation.org.
  
  

Facilitators

• Facilitators are individuals from the public, private, civic, academic, or innovation sectors who deliver foundation programs to specific target audiences. Using the Chamber of Commerce example mentioned above, a chamber member might facilitate a sustainability awareness program specifically for hotel/motel owners/operators. Or, a book-club member might volunteer to take the sustainability message to her cohorts by way of a book and related discussion group questions. These facilitators are the real “champions”: Through them, the foundation targets specific groups of British Columbians with the sustainability information and communication tools they need to initiate meaningful dialogue, introduce appropriate behavior-change strategies, and promote short- and long-term accountability. Facilitators are recognized on the website’s Applauding Facilitators page. Become a partner now by contacting the foundation at
  250-766-1777 or info@freshoutlookfoundation.org.
