Giving back to our Community
This year our community event focuses on Strengthening Connections to our People and Planet.
Thanks to a hard-working, enthusiastic voluntary planning team and help from coaches and friends around the world, we are able to offer diverse activities, such as plenary events to expand our horizons and inspire us to continue adapting to the world’s needs and workshops to hone existing and new skills and share approaches.
At CCNet we have a motto that is the heart of our community: learn it and pass it on.
Generosity is what fuels our community, and the Rally provides a golden opportunity for all participants to nurture our community, by engaging and actively contributing to strengthen each other to do better conservation.
Financial Support
We thank all our donors and supporters who have enabled us to host this Rally. Support has come in many shapes and forms, including donations to cover event costs, stipends to cover registration fees and additional attendance costs for colleagues in need, which were made through a ´pay it forward´ option and a crowdfunding campaign, as well as contributions by organizations to help participants attend the Rally. Thank you also to all of the organizations who made a significant effort to support their staff to attend the Rally. We know it is an immense amount of time, funds, and energy that allow us to gather from around the globe.
We are grateful for your support; it is hugely appreciated!
