Become a Forest Keeper
What is your climate change legacy? How will you help create a healthy, sustainable, and socially just environment for people now and future generations? These are important questions to grapple with, now more than ever.
Our Forest Keeper Program offers individuals the opportunity support the creation of a healthy, sustainable and socially just tree canopy (and planet) through legacy level donations. The Forest Keepers are those who give a large or sustained donations to TreesDurham in the present, knowing this creates a growing legacy for our future. These legacy donations fund tree planting events, scientific research, community education, and advocacy for effective forest preservation.
If legacy giving interests you, please write Katie Rose to talk about becoming a Forest Keeper, and create the kind of green world you want your loved ones to enjoy.

New Donation Tax Incentives!
Special provision for charitable giving in recent legislation benefits nonprofits
Congress passed, and the President signed, the $2 trillion CARES Act. As you’ve probably seen, it's intended to help modest wage earners, businesses and non-profits through these difficult times, by supplementing unemployment insurance, providing direct payments to individuals, and sending much needed money to hospitals and healthcare systems.
What you might not have seen is that the bill also includes an above-the-line deduction that applies to all taxpayers for charitable contributions up to $300 (Title II, Section 2204). The CARES Act temporarily creates something nonprofits have long sought: a “universal charitable deduction,” also known as an “above-the-line” deduction for donations. That means taxpayers can easily claim the deduction on their tax forms without having to go through the extra step of itemizing it. (Other above-the-line deductions include student-loan interest and retirement-plan contributions, for example.)
This is great news for many nonprofits in these challenging times. Consider donating to TreesDurham, and take advantage of this new tax credit!
