dividends

(FINANCE) a quarterly payment that companies make to owners of their stock. In theory, the source of the company's stock's intrinsic value.

A company's dividends are usually chosen to be as regular as possible; they can be considerably lower than the company's quarterly earnings, provided the company is growing in value. They are important, because they are the direct motivation to buy the stock.
The earnings from stock consist of capital gains and dividends.

Natural Dividends

You are a shareholder of the Earth. Being here, you’ve been given a share of its resources. Being a responsible shareholder means taking a look at your relationship with nature.

How you use your share plays into the bigger picture; as Chief Seattle says, “All things are bound up in each other like the blood that binds the family.” You can invest in your share by giving back, being mindful, and helping be a part of the solution.

Each of us has a different level of resources and lifestyle, which plays a big part in what we can do. Becoming a shareholder is realizing that you and your choices make a difference.
Natural Dividends Increases Nature's Share by amplifying the voices of others who are involved in local initiatives, promoting manageable lifestyle changes, and creating connections between individuals and existing environmental organizations. As a community, making small sustainable changes every day will pay large dividends to Nature.
