Ways To Give

Our donors support Sempervirens Fund because they appreciate the ecological importance and magnificent beauty of the coast redwoods and they understand the need to protect them now. The generous financial support of our donors allows us to act quickly and decisively to protect redwood forests. It also enables us to meet with landowners and our partners to discuss new opportunities for conservation, manage and restore the properties we own, engage foundations and public agencies in accomplishing our mission, and offer recreation and educational opportunities to the public.

There are many ways to give to Sempervirens Fund. All of them offer the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to protect our coast redwood forests today and for future generations. For further information, please contact Kerry Bresnahan, Director of Advancement, at kbresnahan@sempervirens.org or (650) 949-1453.

Land Donations

Sempervirens Fund accepts donations of many types of real estate, including forested properties with conservation value, residential property, and commercial property. We also work with landowners who want to donate or sell property rights in the form of easements that allow for the long-term protection of redwood forests or provide for new wildlife corridors or trails. For more information, contact Reed Holderman, Executive Director, at rholderman@sempervirens.org or (650) 949-1453.
