Fundraising Events Near You
As a grass-roots organization, it has been important to us to create a space in which everyone can give according to their means. For some that means making a donation, others get more involved by organizing their own fundraiser and engaging their own community. Others wish to stay informed so they can attend the fundraising events taking place near them. It all works!
Below is a list of the upcoming and ongoing fundraisers in support of the Sheltering Forests Campaign. These are the events we are aware of and endorse. If you are planning an event or have encountered a fundraising event that is not listed here, please contact us.
