Corporate Opportunities

Green Chimneys cherishes its many corporate relationships and always welcomes new ones. Some of our corporate partners provide in-kind product donations, others financial assistance, and still others, sponsorship support. Increasingly, companies are looking for long-term partnerships with nonprofit organizations that engage their employees and reflect their corporate social responsibility agenda. We are committed to providing our corporate friends with a meaningful experience that motivates their employees and positively positions them with key constituencies.

How Companies Can Get Involved

1Corporate Service Days

Each year, employees from companies both large and small volunteer their time to Green Chimneys through a Corporate Day of Caring. Leaving their high-pressured jobs behind, these spirited employees don a pair of jeans and get to work. They do everything from plowing, planting or painting to planning “gee whiz” projects for our children. Last year, our corporate volunteers gave us more than 3,180 hours of “free labor” – a huge benefit to us. Help us top that number this year!

For more information or to set up a volunteer activity please contact

Barred Owl

This barred owl fell from his nest and ended up on the ground in New Paltz, NY where he was rescued and cared for but it was quickly apparent that he was severely disfigured. He had a twisted, crooked beak, his wing feathers weren’t fully developed and one eye was shut while the other did not look as it should. This was not a bird that could be released back into the wild. Green Chimneys wildlife specialists worked with a local veterinary hospital to improve the bird’s health and determined that the owl was totally blind in one eye and 80-90% blind in the other.
