Make a gift in honor of someone special – Any amount
Whether you have a special someone who is hard to shop for, or you want to celebrate without all the ‘stuff’ – consider making a gift to the Sacramento Tree Foundation in honor or memory of a loved one. Your gift will support our efforts to grow and care for the urban forest in under-canopied neighborhoods that don’t have enough trees, and open spaces where trees provide habitat for wildlife and a respite from city life. Gifts received by midnight on December 18th will receive a letter to your loved one notifying them of the gift with your message before our offices close for the holiday break from December 24th-January 2nd. All donations are tax deductible.
