The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[Baggers]

If you can find that sponsorship elsewhere thats all well and good.

Thing is, in sports, I've been part of organisations that have battled for sponsorship and Hancock are not Australia's biggest issue when push comes to shove.

I wasn't motivated by knowing I could find sponsorship loot elsewhere, I was motivated to refuse sponsorship on occasions as a matter of principle. It was about values.

I also learned long ago when running a not-for-profit (indeed any business) to always be exploring and engaging multiple revenue streams. Too many in the philanthropic community rely on, say govt grants, as their sole revenue source - very, very risky, or one or two major sponsors - also risky.
