Corporate Sponsorship

You can support one of three types of projects within the overall ArBolivia Project:

Conservation

Climate Smart Agriculture

Farmer Training

In addition, we welcome sponsorship of any other aspect of our activities, or just a one off donation to support our core activities.

Your donations leverage extra capital that can be used to effect change on a much bigger scale for the long term.  They also enable us to take the risks associated with a truly innovative project.  We link sponsors with specific projects and communities, so that you can see clear benefits from your support.  All contributions are eligible for tax relief so you can make donations in a way that reduces your tax bill.  Find out more by selecting from the options below.

Conservation

Project summary: Establishment of 10 Hectares of Palo Maria trees

Project description:  Trees and shrubs are planted in designated areas within a smallholding to provide long-term ecosystem benefits rather than commercial production.  This may be to protect vulnerable water courses from erosion during the wet season, to provide fodder and habitat for wildlife or to regulate soil water through wet and dry seasons.

Project benefits: Flood control, biodiversity, carbon sequestration

Project Term: 3 Years

Target Funding: £30,000

Use of Funds: Planting of 5000 Trees including site survey, preparation, plant material, planting, maintenance, monitoring and reporting

Minimum Contribution:  100 trees = £600

Sponsor conservation

Climate Smart Agriculture

Project summary:  Establishment of 5 hectares of Tejeyeque trees within a Cacao plantation

Project description:  Trees are planted to provide shade for delicate crops such as cacao or coffee (and for hardworking farmers!); to fix nitrogen to improve fertility; to combat compaction, improve soil structure and regulate soil moisture.  This is also a very efficient investment in conservation, because helping families to make their existing land more productive, eliminates the need to clear land for crops.

Project benefits: Shade for crops, soil improvement, land productivity

Project Term: 5 Years

Target Funding: £25,000

Use of Funds: Planting of 2500 trees including site survey, preparation, plant material, maintenance, monitoring and reporting.

Minimum Contribution:  50 trees = £500
