Information for Sponsors

Founded in 1875, American Forests is the nation's oldest nonprofit citizen conservation organization. Because we are a 501(c) 3, your tax-deductible sponsorship can bring a workshop to schools at your corporate locations.

This program may also be complemented with our 'Living Classrooms' program that provides trees grown from seeds of historic trees for student planting.

These programs may be scaled to fit your needs and budget. Contact American Forests for more information about how your corporation or foundation can participate in these hands-on workshops.

Partnering for a Workshop

This is more that a sponsorship, it is the building of a partnership between American Forests and your organization. Each project is tailored to your specific requirements, choice of schools and interests.

American Forests will help:

• select the schools for your program
• choose the training location(s)
• create marketing materials
• develop media coverage
• coordinate program logistics

Your involvement is important to us, so we designed this to be your environmental education program.
