1900 Founders' Circle

Get Started Today.

Join the group, of more than 150 donors, who’ve made a significant difference in the profession of forestry and natural resources by contributing $1,900 over a four-year period in programs ranging from outreach and education; grants and scholarships; and general support of SAF.
 
These donations made a significant impact by increasing grants that support public education and scientific research; creating the new Molly Beattie Internship; and supporting the engagement of professionals from around the world.
 
As a member of the 1900 Founders’ Circle you’ll receive a Founders’ Circle pin and a personalized acknowledgement at the SAF National Office to commemorate your donation and commitment to fortifying the profession and SAF.
