Plant a Tree

Adopt a Project

TREES is constantly turning down farmers in need due to a lack of funding for new projects.  Through the Adopt-a-project partnership model businesses interested in having their finger more directly on the pulse of their support enter into a multi-year deal to help sponsor a new project.  At any given time, TREES has multiple new projects and thousands of families in our pipeline awaiting sufficient funding.  For a four year annual commitment of $60,000 USD (full project) or $20-30,000 USD (partial project) can be the official sponsor of a new Forest Garden project that restores degraded lands, provides economic growth opportunity, and brings about sustained food security for individuals and families in need.  

Carbon Offset

The trees we plant and the Forest Gardens we establish store significant amounts of Carbon.  In this partnership model, businesses focused on offsetting their carbon footprint can work with TREES to determine an appropriate carbon calculation from which to base donations on (see www.trees.org/carbon).  Businesses are provided with calculation instructions to determine the carbon impact of their operational activities.  Upon completion of the carbon calculation, TREES provides businesses with a carbon study complete with the cost of sequestering a certain volume of carbon. Businesses should make consistent period reports to TREES indicating the desired volume of carbon to be offset.

Charity of Choice

For new and smaller companies that wish to support TREES but cannot yet afford the initial $1,000 contribution, we also offer the opportunity to support us as your "charity of choice." These partners start with a minimum contribution of $250 USD, and are provided a smaller package of assets to use to communicate their support of the TREES mission. These partners are not officially recognized on the trees.org website until they have reached official partner status.

Please note that these guidelines are designed to maximize Trees for the Future staff productivity in planting trees and changing lives.  We have a small team that packs a big punch.  Please help us to plant more trees by providing us with consistent reporting.
