SUGGESTIONS FOR FUNDRAISING
FOR YOUR FAVORITE NATIONAL PARK OR COUNTRY
We would like to suggest some ideas for favorite country or
area fundraising efforts:
Conservationists in developing and transition countries
Groups of conservationists or even
Protected Areas Agencies PAA) in developing and recipient countries can take
the initiative to raise funds through AAR. They can approach donors, raise funds
at visitor centers in protected areas, etc. and in general market fundraising
for their favorite area or country. By opening a favorite area or country
account, other donors can join and destine their donations to that particular
country or area.
Tour operators
Tour operators are very interesting
for fundraising, as they take visitors to national parks and they can invite
them to make a donation for their favorite national park that their ecotourist just
has visited.
Service Clubs
Service Clubs like Rotary
International, Lions Club and the Round Table have member charters both in
developed and developing countries. When a charter of the North teams up with a
charter in the South, they can have a great joint project in which they can not
only contribute to the protection of a favorite national park but also help in supporting the
protected areas agency of that country or a specific nature reserve. It is a fun
initiative in which entire families of the members can participate in the
fundraising, and ultimately, some charters may even like to organize a members
trip to go and see the area that they are supporting, as well as those wonderful
friends that they have teamed up with. For Rotarians exists a facility,
that when 2 chapters in different countries raise equal amounts of money, that
the Rotary Foundations matches the funding, thus doubling the amount raised.
Fundraising for AAR can become a lot of fun for Service Clubs and very educative
for their members and families!
Zoos
Zoos are the great attractors of
people interested in animals and nature. Zoos can become very important
contributors, particularly because people that love animals are extra motivated
to help protect their favorite wild animals through national park rangers.
