SPONSORSHIP
SHARING A COMMON VISION IN A DIVIDED WORLD
NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED TO CELEBRATE COMMON GROUND.
Our world has never been more interconnected—and individuals have never been more isolated. We are facing a growing crisis of national and global fragmentation, driven by political and social polarization. As communities fracture, bridging these divides through mutual understanding and shared experiences is a cultural imperative for building a resilient future.
The Forest – Common Ground® (TFCG) can help build that future by celebrating the forest's universal appeal as both sanctuary and sustainer—supporting a diverse, strong, and accepting community of common understanding.
For forward-thinking corporations, sponsoring a project that brings people together is a powerful opportunity to lead with purpose. By backing TFCG, your company will position itself as a trusted anchor of unity and corporate citizenship. It also offers a unique platform to drive measurable social impact, elevate brand equity, and foster deep, lasting loyalty among a deeply connected audience.
HELP PUBLISH THE BOOK AND BUILD THE FOREST THROUGH SPONSORSHIP.
Our project involves coordinating photographers from across Canada and interviewing Indigenous community members to publish a beautiful, informative art book and build a national forest while moving toward a collaborative, welcoming society. This is a complex, large and daunting task—and it can’t happen without the financial and service/product assistance from organizations committed to their local and broader communities.

WHY THE FOREST – COMMON GROUND?
We recognize the economic and operational challenges of today—strong competition, increasing consumer demands and expectations, enhanced government scrutiny and an unpredictable global market. We also recognize that resources are limited and that organizations face significant demands to support other projects. So why TFCG? Because it:
-
Has an important, timely and universal message: supporting a common understanding and appreciation in Canada for others
-
Is unique: this is the first exhibition of its kind to bring photographers from across Canada to create a unified forest art
-
Supports the operations of various charitable organizations through the donation of all net exhibition and retail sales revenue
-
Has no boundaries: it appeals across all age groups and cultures
-
Provides extensive exposure and sponsorship options to support brand enhancement and targeted marketing
-
Is consistent with the corporate goals of great organizations: social responsibility, sustainability and community outreach
-
Encourages local and national community engagement and participation
WHAT TO GIVE?
TFCG requires sponsorship across several areas—book publication costs, construction of the trunks and ground cover images and associated support (e.g., lighting, audio, etc.), shipping, advertising, marketing, and staffing of the retail operations. Currently, a committed group of volunteers supports the overall effort.
Our sponsorship packages can be tailored to reflect varying levels of commitment, budget and the type of service or product your organization provides. The key is flexibility and creative partnering to ensure value for your investment, whether it is cash, in-kind or both, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss what best suits your business objectives.
DONATION OF NET PROCEEDS
TFCG is committed to the sustainment and enhancement of the environment in Canada for the current and future generations. As a result, we will donate our net Canadian exhibition and retail proceeds to support the efforts of various charitable organizations, including those dedicated to reforestation, environmental preservation, and climate change initiatives in Canada.
