Sponsorship Opportunities
The Carbon Literacy Project is a unique transformative action programme, on a mission to offer everyone a day’s worth of Carbon Literacy learning. We want everyone to have the chance to make more informed decisions in their lives and in their organisations.
We are seeking donors and sponsors, as we rely on the generous support of organisations like yours to extend our reach and impact. We are seeking to deliver more vital Carbon Literacy training and to expand the impact of our work. With your support, we can make this a reality.
By offering your support, you will be making a real difference. Donating to or partnering with The Carbon Literacy Project is a positive and tangible way of enhancing your corporate social responsibility aims and is a positive demonstration of your organisation’s intentions to tackle carbon reduction and work towards a zero-carbon future.
