There are several ways that you can help with our sustainable livelihoods projects, both locally and in other areas of the world.

For details or to arrange any kind of contribution, please call,

Thank you!

Monetary Donations

Donations of any amount are welcome, as are matching gifts. Gifts are tax deductible. You can specify a particular program for your donation, or give to our general fund.


Checks can be made out to “The Forest Foundation” and mailed to us at:

1404 Angier Ave. /
Durham, NC 27701

We will of course send an acknowledgement and thank-you letter for confirmation and tax purposes.

Benefactor Gifts

This is a gift made on a monthly or quarterly basis through a credit card or debit card. The payment can be made automatically on a schedule throughout the year for your convenience. Matching Gifts are welcomed. Gifts are tax deductible and based on legal regulations.

Purchase Items

You can purchase gifts from The Forest Foundation. Call the office and warehouse for hours and directions and come shopping!

Invite us to make a Presentation

We are available to make presentations to any groups that are interested in our projects and any of the issues that we support. Call us for details.

In-Kind Services - Get Involved!

We can use a range of volunteers both around the office and with
outreach programs: networking/liaison, computer networking,
accounting, web development, packing orders, cleaning and organizing
the warehouse and office, or working with the biodiesel operation.

We also recruit board members. Call us for more information on
how you can lend support.

Vehicle Donations

We do indeed accept vehicle donations, especially diesel vehicles.
See our vehicles page for
details.

Office Equipment

We could use some new computer and office equipment. Anything less
than three years old would be a great help; desks, chairs, shelves,
computers (Macs or PCs). We have a 1993 Mac that needs upgrading
right now (it is very sensitive so we don’t mention it around the
office).

Frequent Flyer Miles

Help us participate in events and conduct training and educational
programing worldwide by donating your frequent flyer miles.

Charitable Annuities

Charitable annuities and charitable remainder trusts can be a great
way to support a cause you believe in.

With a charitable annuity, the owner of assets transfers (donates)
them to a charity, the charity agrees to pay the donor or other
beneficiary (beneficiaries) a lifetime annuity. A portion of each
annuity payment received by the donor is taxable income. The
remainder is a nontaxable return of assets.

Also, when a surviving spouse or beneficiary won’t want to manage
family assets, a charitable annuity or a charitable remainder trust
can help ensure an income stream.

More about charitable annuities can be found in these two AARP articles:

Please feel free to call us or your own financial planner for more information.
