HOW CAN YOU HELP, SUPPORT & SPONSOR WHAT WE DO?
First, let's remind ourselves of "The Purpose". In its shortest version, our Purpose is to "Raise Awareness About & Propose Solutions to the Crisis". And about that, let's remind you of what we mean here, and what that should mean to YOU as well:
We can't save ourselves at all, if we don't first work on saving the planet. And we can't save the planet if we don't save ourselves as well.
We are the Conscience of Gaia, the Living Planet. Let us be heard!
Don't wait for others to solve y/our problems for y/ourself(-selves) -- they won't!
As they say in France: "Aides-toi, et le Ciel t'aidera!" (something like: "Help Thyself, and so will God")
Union Begets Force - So Let's Work Together to Make the Needs of the Planet and of its People Heard! Together, to Inform and to Reform, for ACTION & RESULTS RIGHT NOW!

GAIA, the Living Planet, NEEDS YOU!
You, by the way, meaning Y O U.
Not the gentleman or lady next door. Not someone who is richer than you. Or more this, or less that. You just means YOU!
If you don't act for yourself and your own good, just think of your children, your family, the next generations... What we see right now is just the beginning, and if we do not DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, the ones who are children today may soon tomorrow regret they were born at all.
Truly, is this the legacy you want to leave?
And don't say there is nothing you can do about it. One way or another, there is PLENTY you can do about it!
MANY WAYS TO HELP US, MANY WAYS TO SUPPORT & SPONSOR US!
There are many ways to help us or support & sponsor what we do.
Of course, any of the usual "sponsoring" things one can do are welcome. Cash grants and donations are sure one thing that are unlikely to go out of fashion anytime soon. So are event sponsorships, help in fundraising, etc.
But there are many more other ways to participate in a useful and meaningful manner:
TIME & SKILL DONATIONS: Most people waste an incredible amount of time on things that have absolutely NO value whatsoever, such as watching TV, one of the most useless activity ever invented by the devious genius of man.
Why not set aside part (or all) of that wasted time, and contribute that way?

Plus, almost everyone has some useful skills, and many people have truly very useful ones. Why waste your time and your skills, when you could contribute them to the advancement of the Purpose?
Remember, Gaia needs YOU, but even more so, YOU need to start *helping yourself, and *team up with like-minded people!
KNOWLEDGE DONATIONS: This is even more true for professionals and experts.
For example, if you are an IT professional, or any other type of professional, particularly in business, law, advertising or the entertainment industry, and things are getting pretty slow for you right now, you could donate surplus time, and apply your knowledge to ADVANCE SOLUTIONS.
Think of it: Would you prefer to BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, INSTEAD OF BEING PART OF THE PROBLEM?
REAL PROPERTY LOANS: Or, if you own some surplus property that is on the market, with little hope to be sold any time soon, why not consider a time-limited loan of some empty (if possible, large) house(s) and/or Industrial or Commercial Building preferably on the West side of Los Angeles?
If you have such a building for sale and are not in a position to drastically reduce its price now, and probably repeat the operation many more times, you already know it will stay empty for a long, long time...
So, why not put such surplus property to good use by loaning it to us on a month to month basis?
In fact, it is often easier to sell a lively building, and always much more secure than to keep it empty anyway: No one is likely to come steal copper pipes in an occupied building, and we can get out within days or evewn hours after escrow, as long as told when the building enters escrow (that is, if it ever will...).
What we need is basically three types of property:
Residential Property, where we could house mid- and long-term dedicated volunteers who wouldn't have to worry about the rent or the mortgage, or even putting food on their table, as we will then be in a position to provide them for free room and board -we already have secured sources for quality surplus food- in exchange for their dedicated work for the Purpose.
Industrial/Commercial Property, that could be turned into offices or even better, galleries used to host artists and performers and their art relating to the Purpose.
Raw Land, even just backyards, that could be transformed into Demonstration Locations for Intensive Personal Organic & Sustainable Food-Growing, or, if suitable for the purpose, into Model Organic and Sustainable Community Gardens.
HOSTING A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER: Many people are out of work, but have very usable skills for the advancement of the Purpose. And many more will be soon enough in a similar situation.
What's the point in having good people iddling and worrying, when they could dedicate their time to the Purpose?
If you have a spare room or guesthouse, you could transform an iddle person who worries about how to pay the rent into a Dedicated Worker for the advancement of the Purpose. How much would that cost you? Close to nothing, except perhaps a bit of utilities. And even that could easily be covered by another sponsor if needs to be, so in the end, it could cost you NOTHING AT ALL.
Or of course you could...
VOLUNTEER YOURSELF! Either a few hours now and then, or as such a Dedicated Volunteer.
As you can see, even if you don't have a penny at hand, there are many ways how you can sponsor what we do, and Advance the Purpose! And how much more could you do if you are well-off?
Now... why would you want to do that?
Remember...
We are the Conscience (and perhaps, as a specie, also the Conciousness) of Gaia, the Living Planet.
