Donate

Vermont Family Forests runs a very lean operation to carry out all the work we do to cultivate mutually beneficial relationship with the forests of home. We rely on grants and donations to do this work. While we have some designated grant funds that offset costs for specific programs, like our Colby Hill Ecological Project research, your individual donation helps us continue to imagine, carry out, and facilitate ecologically sound, ethical, economically viable forest conservation through workshops, community conversations, demonstration projects, celebrations, and more.

In 2025, we decided to return to our old method of receiving donations solely via checks, rather than via credit cards. It's an experiment, and we'd love to hear your thoughts. Does having to write a check keep you from donating? Or does it spur a donation, since you know all the proceeds will go directly to us, rather than also to the credit card companies? Email us--we'd love to know.
