Help the Save British Virgin Islands, Assist VIEC with a big Dollar Holler.

The British Virgin Island Environmental Council held fast to their Christian principle of stewardship for BVI environments and challenged developers and government in court not to destroy BVI's last pristine areas. At great expense, VIEC is challenging the world's largest developers that colluded with government to break BVI laws. VIEC is establishing legal conservation precedence for the entire Caribbean and beyond.

"We need the work of ORI to go on for many years to come." Richard Painter, Basildon, England

The find print on donating to ORI online instead of by personal check: Network for Good is a "donor-advised fund," which is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that collects contributions from donors and distributes those contributions to other nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations in good standing with the IRS as recommended by you, the donor. Your credit card statement therefore lists Network for Good and not the charity on this page because your donation is to our donor-advised fund. Network for Good then forwards the contribution to your charity on your behalf. As required by the IRS, Network for Good has exclusive legal control over donations to our donor-advised fund.
