The General Fund

What is the SAF General Fund?

The General Fund supports National SAF programs, services, and operations. Donations are targeted to the immediate needs of the Society and its members.  

Help SAF Grow: The Campaign for the General Fund

In honor of Earth Day, we launched our Annual Campaign for the General Fund. Help us reach our goal! 

We invite you to support SAF, a leader in the natural resources sector advancing scientific and technologically sound sustainable forest management practices for nearly 125 years. This year, our fundraising goal for the General Fund is $45,000.

Help sustain SAF today and into the future so that we can continue supporting the professionals that invest in our planet every day. 

Donate today!

When you invest in the General Fund, you support: 

Member Services: The General Fund helps meet the needs of over 9,000 members by sustaining an engaged and connected membership community through a variety of services and programs, such as our publications, National Awards, state society incorporation support, and so much more. 
Career Exploration: The General Fund supports SAF’s Henry Clepper Forest Policy Internship, exposing students and young professionals to a breadth of career opportunities in the forestry sector. Growing the General Fund also helps us expand educational programming. 
Public Forestry Understanding: SAF is a leading voice in sustainable forestry management. Working with policymakers, partner organizations, and coalitions, our Advocacy and Outreach Team reaches a broad audience, educating the public about the environment, economic, and social benefits of forests and forestry.  
And so much more! We thank our communities of members, local units, supporters, and partners who continue to ensure our impact keeps growing as we set the standard in forest management, bringing science, best practice and the best people together to actively shape the future of the profession. 

Thank you for making all of our work possible!
