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.
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

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.

Protect the Planet
With the right support, family forests have the potential to sequester 1 billion tonnes of carbon by 2050.

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.
Give With Confidence
You can feel confident your gift will make a difference for nature and rural communities. Our top ratings from Charity Navigator and Guidestar are proof of our commitment to effectively and carefully using every dollar donated.
