The partnership, which first began in 2011, has already raised more than $25,000 for the Conservation Alliance, one of the most important non-profit organizations in the outdoor conservation space. Promoted through Grassroots retailers, throughout the end of May and the month of June, $10 from the sale of any Marmot products—$99.00 or more—will be donated to the Conservation Alliance.
Roanne Miller, Grassroots President explains, “This is a unique and important partnership that supports the independent, outdoor specialty retailer, which ties directly back to local businesses and stimulates those regional economies.”
Miller adds, “Working with The Conservation Alliance and Marmot allows us to broaden our reach to help bigger national projects that we really want to support. Marmot’s generosity to help coordinate and drive this promotion shows their commitment to protect wild places and recreational values.”
“We’ve enjoyed working with Grassroots on this promotion every season,” explains Tom Fritz, Marmot’s Vice President of Marketing. “This spring marks our fourth collaboration with Grassroots and together we’ve raised more than $25,000 for the Conservation Alliance. It’s one of most successful and impactful promotions we’ve done to benefit a non-profit organization.”

About the Conservation Alliance:
The Conservation Alliance is an organization of outdoor businesses whose collective contributions support grassroots environmental organizations and their efforts to protect wild places where outdoor enthusiasts recreate. Alliance funds have played a key role in protecting rivers, trails, wildlands and climbing areas.
Membership in the Alliance is open to companies representing all aspects of the outdoor industry, including manufacturers, retailers, publishers, mills and sales representatives. The result is a diverse group of businesses whose livelihood depends on protecting our natural environment.
Since its inception in 1989, the Alliance has contributed more than $8.3 million to grassroots environmental groups. Alliance funding has helped save over 49.5 million acres of wildlands; 27 dams have either been stopped or removed; and the group helped preserve access to more than 17,000 miles of waterways and several climbing areas.
