Tread Lightly! Official Partnership: Levels of Involvement

Many corporations find it good business to support Tread Lightly!. Often, Tread Lightly! is all that stands between them and decreased opportunities for consumers to enjoy their products. That’s not to discount the many intangible benefits of corporate good citizenship such as improved community, government and employee relations. However, one of the most significant benefits comes from the legitimacy derived by clearly demonstrating sincerity and commitment toward Tread Lightly! principles.

Contributions Can Be Made to Tread Lightly! in Two Ways:
Restricted Funds are used for as specific program or project, as designated by the donor. These partnership projects can be tailored to the company’s interest or market. 
 
Unrestricted Funds are not designated toward a specific program and will be used to meet any operational need Tread Lightly! may have.
 
Ideally a company will make an unrestricted contribution before it moves to underwrite a restricted funds program.
