Introduction | Businesses for Frogs
Business owners and managers assume an incredible amount of responsibility. Please always consider the effect of your business practices on the environment.
SAVE THE FROGS! seeks to initiate a mutually beneficial relationship with your business. We would like to certify your business "Frog-Friendly". You can then advertise as such, which would serve to (1) improve your environmental image, and (2) provide important advertising for SAVE THE FROGS!, thus exposing a wider audience to our cause. We will provide a web page that explains your certification to interested parties.
Every business benefits from having a positive public image and a strong environmental track record. If your business donates $5000 or higher to SAVE THE FROGS!, we may be able to certify you 'Frog Friendly'. If you are certified 'Frog-Friendly' by SAVE THE FROGS! we will (1) list your business on the SAVE THE FROGS! web site and explain what you have done to support amphibian conservation; (2) provide you with a 'Certified Frog-Friendly' button to put on your official web site; this button will link viewers to a SAVE THE FROGS! web page that confirms your 'Frog-Friendly' status and explains what you have done to support amphibian conservation; (3) send you a framed 'Frog-Friendly' certificate to put on the wall of your reception area; and (4) provide you with a free Frogs of Australia 24" x 36" poster.1
The World Conservation Union (IUCN) estimates that worldwide amphibian conservation efforts require a minimum of $82 million per year. If your business or organization donates $100,000 or more to SAVE THE FROGS!, we will (1) gratefully acknowledge your contribution to amphibian conservation in a visible location on our homepage for a time period of one year; (2) create an annual $2,000 Amphibian Conservation Award in the name of your business. This award will help fund the research expenses of one exceptionally talented graduate student researcher each year for as long as SAVE THE FROGS! exists. Graduate student research is the primary contributor to our knowledge of amphibian biology, ecology and conservation; (3) allow you to host a free lecture on frogs by SAVE THE FROGS! Executive Director Dr. Kerry Kriger; (4) provide you with a 'Certified Frog-Friendly' button to put on your official web site; this button will link viewers to a SAVE THE FROGS! web page that confirms your 'Frog-Friendly' status and explains what you have done to support amphibian conservation; and (5) send you a framed certificate in recognition of your assistance to put on the wall of your reception area.
Please contact us if you have any questions, or would like to verify that your donation will indeed qualify your business for 'Frog-Friendly' status.
Patagonia Inc.'s founder and owner Yvon Chouinard has written an excellent book on how to manage a business that is both successful and environmentally friendly.

While we certainly appreciate the efforts of any business that assists amphibian conservation efforts, we may refuse to certify a business whose previous environmental record runs contrary to our mission. Please contact us for details.
