1 EarthShare California Contact person: Tania Katbi, Director of Development Phone Number: (714) Website: How can you choose between drinking clean water or breathing clean air, between parks and beaches, between the elephants and the whales, between the eagle and the buffalo? Can you choose? Would there be a right choice? EarthShare California coordinates workplace giving for over eighty carefully selected environmental charities. Part of the national EarthShare network, EarthShare California offers business partners the opportunity to connect with the most respected organizations, offering solutions to environmental business questions, volunteer opportunities and networking. Our member organizations have been instrumental in maintaining the California landscape, and many have influenced eco-friendly legislation, including the tax credit for energy efficient vehicles. EarthShare California is committed to the belief that our environment is precious and worth protecting for our quality of life today and for the health of generations to come. We are a federation of leading environmental organizations, both local and national in scope, working together to raise needed funds through workplace fundraising, and donors like you. Through EarthShare California you can choose to give to your favorite environmental organization within our membership, or you can make a donation to EarthShare California itself. Your one time gift or your on-going gift through payroll deduction donation to EarthShare California will then be distributed to our member groups and will be used to help preserve and protect our endangered environment. What Can You Do To Help?! Sign up today for payroll deductions or give generously as a one time gift! Volunteer your time with a local environmental group! Get a colleague, friend or co-worker to support a group of their choice
