The Sapling Program

The National Forest Foundation’s (NFF) Sapling Program is designed for small businesses that want to demonstrate their environmental commitment by planting trees without the larger investment our corporate partnerships offer.

With the help of our Sapling members, we’ve planted over 1,000,000 trees, reforesting thousands of acres damaged by wildfire and disease.

Once you’ve joined the program, every dollar your business contributes will play a crucial role in revitalizing National Forests in need of reforestation, providing clean water and air, improving habitat for wildlife, and supporting our climate for future generations.

How it works

We require a one-time enrollment fee of $50 that supports holistic reforestation. Once enrolled, we’ll reach out with donation instructions + collaboration information.

Enroll

You can set up a recurring gift or contribute at your preferred pace. To maintain active partnerships, we ask that members’ annual donations reach a minimum of $200.

On the form below please select ‘Donate as an organization’ and add your business name in the space the appears when you make your gift. If you haven’t enrolled, please make your one-time enrollment gift through the enrollment form above first.

Donate

We will invest your donation into high priority reforestation projects across the country. We are proud that we invest 80% of every donation directly into our reforestation program and have attained the highest ratings from Charity Navigator and Guidestar.
