Big Gift to the Earth
Be a Part of Something Big!

Students and teachers who participate in annual Big Gift activities help conserve threatened rainforests and other important habitats. Since 1989, their combined efforts have raised more than $6 million to purchase and protect 489,000 acres.

You can help, too!

Participants who raise funds for the Big Gift purchase and protect 1 acre of habitat for every $50 they donate.
Fundraising events can include anything from the easiest coin drive ever with FREE EBP penny banks to bake sales and read-athons.
Selling awareness bracelets pays for the bracelets and raises funds for the Big Gift.
Middle-school teachers who sign up to do our Earth Day Science Symposium generate matching donations of $50 for each participating class—no fundraising required!

"This is our thirteenth year of donating, and we are just as excited and enthusiastic as we were that very first year!"
Kathy Lewis, Juanamaria School

Big Gift conservation partners include the African Wildlife Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, The Leatherback Trust, and Conservation International.
