Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team was established and began locating and certifying vernal ponds in 1990 as a joint venture with the New England Herpetological Society. In 2006 we became a Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. |

"Over the years, we've talked a lot about the importance of sustainability and corporate social responsibility at Cell Signaling Technology (CST). In everything we do, we consider how it will affect the planet and look for ways to mitigate our global footprint and protect the environment through sustainable practices, volunteer opportunities, and charitable giving."
"We recently became the first Life Sciences company to join 1% for the Planet and commit to donating 1% of our total revenue to a network of environmental partner organizations. Through our corporate giving, we seek to support others who are working to reduce humanity's impact on the planet." CST is quite an amazing company and recently we connected with them on a number of fronts. First is volunteerism wherein employees donate important and extensive time with our nonprofit. Not only do we receive that commitment, but CST donates to us for that volunteer time as well. Second, they recommended us as a partner to 1% for the Planet and we were accepted. This gives us the opportunity to receive funds from companies like CST who are part of that network. Third, we received grant monies directly from CST for our Children's Program. We couldn't be happier, or more grateful, for these connections and support. In December, two years in a row, we were nominated and awarded a very generous donation from the Combined Change Donor Advised Fund. We asked them to please help share our JOY by telling us more about how and why they chose CAVPT.
Many of our volunteers and contributors are either employed by Applied Materials or are family members and have been invaluable supporters of the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team. Thank you for your grant and the support Cape Ann Savings Bank provides to all the nonprofit organizations in our community. It is this support that allows us to do the incredible things we do to help make this place so special. Our work continues and your contribution helps us pursue our mission. |
