Philanthropy
Ready to make a transformational gift for nature? Become a philanthropic partner and provide critical resources to protect the health of America’s forests.
39% of America’s forests are owned by families and individuals. These family forests are our nation’s lungs, offering one of our largest carbon sinks while providing our nation’s wood supply, creating economic opportunities for rural Americans, and restoring critical wildlife habitat.
To ensure America’s forests and the communities who depend on them thrive, we need leaders and donors—just like you—to join us.
Your support helps us build and expand high-quality programs, fund essential research and innovation, and unlock the power of family landowners to care for our forests.
The Impact of Your Funding
Protect the Planet
With the right support, family forests have the potential to sequester 1 billion tonnes of carbon by 2030.
Empower Rural Communities
Across the United States, 21 million families or one in four rural Americans play an active role in supporting forest health. AFF partners with these families to create new economic opportunities and an avenue to ensure their legacy for generations to come.
Conserving Critical Biodiversity
By planting trees and helping landowners sustainably manage their forests, we work to enhance water quality, prevent soil erosion, and restore vital wildlife habitat.
