The forward thinking of our founders continues through our current Board of Directors. Although Trees For Tomorrow's mission has not changed since 1944, it is still a legitimate mission in today's world. Support for Trees For Tomorrow is not only good for natural resource management education, it is good for your business. Benefits of corporate giving may include an enhanced reputation and standing in the community, new relationships with key leaders and officials, a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining employees, and exposure of senior staff to new ideas, points of view and important natural resource management movements.

Corporate funds not only help the organization achieve its mission, but also create opportunities for underserved populations to benefit from a Trees For Tomorrow experience. There are several giving levels identified by the Trees For Tomorrow Corporate and Executive Membership Program. Through this system we are able to recognize your major financial contribution by saying "Thank you" in a public way.

These categories of annual membership provide companies with year-round benefits of recognition and greater public awareness of their commitment to sustainable natural resource management and environmental education. Your support of Trees For Tomorrow reflects your commitment to better serve your current customers and future generations.
