Grizzly Guardian Business & Ecotourism Operator Sponsor
A sponsor is included amongst our other businesses and ecotourism operators, but sponsors have the opportunity to give a cash contribution towards specific events or advertising opportunities. Sponsorship is more than displaying your logo on things. We work with you to understand your social responsibility priorities, conservation goals, and environmental concerns, and ensure your donation is recognized and utilized in alignment with those priorities. Brand recognition, cross-promotion, logo placement, and public relations campaigns designed for your market are some ideas of how we could recognize you.The benefits of each sponsorship will be tailored to each partnership and can include access to the Grizzly Guardian logo, collateral, and brand messaging to help best communicate your commitment to grizzly bear conservation. The Grizzly Guardian business program will provide a story of partnership to help you amplify the positive impact your business is having on thriving healthy ecosystems through our website and social media platforms.
