Your business giving kids a brighter future
Its Time Foundation provides clean, free energy for remote Pacific Island schools, transforming the education and life prospects for the kids and their communities. It’s a truly life-changing initiative that also addresses climate change by reducing diesel consumption (and, as a bonus, reduces ocean plastic pollution).
“It’s great we smaller businesses can now partner. Proud to be involved and it sends a really positive message to our customers. Collectively we can make huge difference in these kids lives.” Sam Gardel, Owner, Gardel Electrical
“Over the 10 years supporting Its Time, we see clearly the difference we make. It’s a solid program we recommend. It’s also a good story we share, not only with customers, but our staff love the fact we are involved. ” Sean Guzzi, National Channel Manager, Clenergy Australia

Your business can make a real difference and become a Solar Schools Business Partner. On your terms:
- Any business can contribute monthly or otherwise to a Partner Level that suits them. The terms of the relationship are flexible and up to you. See calculator below. Also, neat ways solar businesses to support by donating a fraction of a cent per watt installed or sold.
- You make an initial commitment for the first month/s. We send future “Invitations to Donate” based on the previous period’s contribution, but you can adjust the amount to suit you and the Partner levels adjusts accordingly.
- You can choose to pay up to 24 months in advance. That makes life easier for you and great for the kids because we put the funds straight to work.
- The partnership level is calculated on the monthly average from the start of the partnership OR the monthly average from today to partnership expiry date (inc. a 3 month grace period) – whichever is greater.
- Should you be able to consider an exclusive school partnership please read these notes.

You will notice, on the home page (the second video), when schools receive solar they commit to a weekly activity to reduce plastic in their environment. This is a initiative we intend rolling out beyond solar schools and beyond Fiji as part of our Plastic Free Oceans project. The mapping of that is done with the Sustainable Social platform (the platform is also used for partner mapping and donations management). Plastic Free Oceans and Sustainable Social are both are wholly owned initiatives of Its Time and are specific purpose sustainability projects in their own right – 10% of contributions in the partner program are shared between these two initiatives.
Please note virtual drinks are on hold for a while – due to current demands on the foundation. That’s good news that we are delivering more solar school projects in 2023 than originally planned.
