The Sapling Program is for companies that want to solidify their environmental commitment, but have a limited budget or are not interested in a more formal agreement. Many of our members are startup companies, small-scale local or regional businesses, as well as nonprofits and schools. Some are larger companies that simply want to plant trees without a larger commitment.
All members are part of a larger coalition of tree-planting partners and donors who support our efforts in reforesting areas that need it most across the National Forest System.
Because the NFF manages many different members that require our time and attention, the NFF requires a one-time enrollment fee of $50, which supports holistic reforestation. Once enrolled, Sapling members can choose their own adventure by supporting holistic reforestation to help build capacity to replant National Forests faster and create more resilient, climate-smart forests for the future, or $1 donated = 1 tree planted.
To maintain an active partnership, we require a minimum donation of $200 every twelve months.
For your convenience, you may set your donations up on a recurring basis and your gift will process automatically.
Yes! Once the $50 enrollment is paid and you begin making tree-planting donations, Sapling members can mention the NFF partnership on their website and are welcome to use the Sapling Program badge, and other materials found in the resource kit. Sapling members can also share our tree planting campaign videos, crediting the NFF, and post about the partnership on their social media.
We ask that all partners submit draft text about the partnership to Abby at [email protected] for review prior to publishing to ensure it aligns with NFF messaging.
Please note that use of the official NFF logo is not permitted for Sapling members.
As an Sapling member, we direct your donation to the areas of greatest need on National Forests. Your donations will be pooled with other donations to fund projects in our general reforestation fund, which supports a wide variety of projects across National Forests. Because reforestation needs change on an annual basis, so do the projects and National Forests we support. Visit our online map to see all projects supported by year.

The NFF is thrilled to share about the expansion of our Reforestation Program through a holistic reforestation approach. All donations to our reforestation efforts go to plant trees and build reforestation capacity from need, to seed, to tree.

Absolutely! Our corporate partnerships begin at the $10,000 level, and if your Sapling membership reaches this threshold within a 12-month period, it can receive the benefits of a corporate partnership for the remainder of that period.
