Support Us

When Friends of the Urban Forest was founded in 1981 we set out on a mission to grow San Francisco’s urban forest. Since then we have planted more than 60,000 street trees.

Today, FUF continues to promote a larger, healthier urban forest through community planting, tree care, education, and advocacy. By investing in FUF’s programs you are creating a better city for generations to come. Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact.



If you’re ready to create a green legacy across San Francisco, make your gift online today. If you prefer to mail in your donation, please download this form. Below are the many ways you can support Friends of the Urban Forest.

Membership

Become a member of Friends of the Urban Forest, and enjoy benefits such as event invites and shopping discounts.

Monthly Giving

Become a monthly donor to transform what’s possible! By becoming an Urban Forest Sustainer you ensure your impact on the San Francisco’s tree canopy and help us plan for future projects.

 

#GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday is the global day of giving that happens on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year. With your support, we can make it “GreeningTuesday.” Mark your calendars and keep your eyes peeled for our emails.

 

Matching Gifts

Find out whether your employer offers a matching gift program — you may be able to double your donation.

 

Sponsorship

You can sponsor an upcoming planting.

 

 

Tree Tributes

Make a Tree Tribute dedicated to a friend, loved one or colleague, and we’ll plant a tree in honor or memory of that person.

 

Have a Corporate Workday With Us

Volunteer workdays are a fun opportunity for groups to engage in team-building and fulfillment of corporate social responsibility goals while benefiting the environment.

Planned Giving

By including FUF as a beneficiary of your will, trust, or other estate plan, you’ll ensure the preservation and expansion of San Francisco’s urban forest for generations to come.  A Forest Forever is the name of our planned giving program.

 

Donate Appreciated Stock

Gifts of appreciated stock are tax deductible and are not subject to capital gains tax.

 

Spread the Word

Post a message on social media about FUF and our mission to bring neighbors together to plant and care for San Francisco’s ideal urban forest, or share something we’ve posted on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter — or post photos of trees you discover on your walks. Use the hashtag #GreeningSF!.
