Who We Are
The National Forest Foundation brings people together to protect our National Forests and Grasslands. As the nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service, we engage America in community-based and national programs that promote the health and public enjoyment of the National Forest System. We also administer private gifts of funds and land for the benefit of the National Forests.

In helping the U.S. Forest Service fulfill its mission to "care for the land and serve people," we work in close collaboration with local people and communities. We believe that communities should play a leading role in determining the future of the 192 million acres that make up our National Forests and Grasslands.

What We Do
The NFF is the only conservation organization focused on addressing the challenges that face National Forests. It stands apart from other organizations through its commitment to facilitating local involvement and encouraging grassroots participation in forest stewardship.

The NFF provides financial support to our partner organizations and raises funds to effectively double or triple the total contribution to numerous local conservation initiatives. Involving a variety of stakeholders in forest stewardship provides further leverage by expanding the number and quality of skills dedicated to ensuring successful outcomes. You, as an active supporter of the NFF, can be confident that your contribution will support a wide variety of projects focused on protecting and restoring our National Forests.
