Can you offer up a perk that would encourage others to donate? If so, we would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>If you run a tree nursery perhaps you could offer a pack of 100 trees, your outdoor clothing company could donate items, or bushcrafters could offer a bushcraft training day. Perhaps you have something else of value that you could donate (it doesn&#8217;t have to be related to outdoor education) and which donors may wish to receive as a perk in return for their donation. The two charities running the campaign would be pleased to acknowledge your support publicly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>You donate to the campaign partners a product or service with a guide price equal to its usual value &#8211; e.g. \u00a3500.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>We list the product or service as a &#8216;perk&#8217; in return for a donation of at least \u00a3500, or sometimes more if a unique opportunity. These can be one-off or limited to any number. The donation of the perk is acknowledged publicly (if desired) and promoted.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Donors who give \u00a3500 and select the perk you offer, will receive it at an agreed time.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Our campaign receives the \u00a3500 from the donor.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To discuss options and ideas please contact our Chief Executive Gabriel Hemery <a href=\"mailto:development@sylva.org.uk?Subject=offer of a perk to the LTLW campaign\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener\">development@sylva.org.uk<\/a> or tel: 01865 408018<\/p>\n<h2>Spread the word<\/h2>\n<p>Another way that we appreciate with your help, is to spread the word about the campaign.
