Partnering Together to Make a Difference

The Jane Goodall Institute builds dynamic relationships with companies that are leaders in social responsibility. These businesses share our vision for a more sustainable future. They embody this vision by valuing their employees and customers, and supporting the communities in which they operate.

As a world-renowned scientist and humanitarian, Dr. Jane Goodall is a most effective and persuasive advocate for responsible stewardship of our planet.

Whether you support our community-centered conservation efforts in Africa, participate in one of our many events, or sponsor our Roots & Shoots education program, your generosity will help us have a lasting positive impact on the natural world and its many communities.

According to the Cone/Roper Report, a five-year study on cause-related marketing trends, corporate partnerships make good business sense. The report showed:

  • 83% of consumers say they have a more positive image of a company that supports a cause they care about
  • 66% of consumers say that, price and quality being equal, they would switch to a brand or retailer associated with a good cause
  • 87% of employees in companies with cause programs feel a strong sense of loyalty
