Treehouse is where the fiercest advocates for rainforests, human rights, and our planet’s future come together.
Your recurring gift, no matter the size, will go a long way to sustain our work supporting Indigenous peoples and local communities—the rainforests’ best protectors—in Central and South America.
Rainforest Foundation US’s Newsletter four times per year and members-only updates from our program staff
“When I decide to support an environmental organization, I research their work so I know that my donations are invested in strategies proven to be effective at addressing our climate emergency and protecting our essential natural systems—like rainforests and the critical biodiversity they sustain.
Rainforest Foundation US’s on-the-ground strategy of partnering with Indigenous communities to secure formal title to and monitor their traditional lands has been shown to significantly reduce deforestation. I know my donated dollars are supporting real solutions and benefitting both Indigenous communities and global communities most vulnerable to climate change.”
– Elizabeth, Treehouse member
“Rainforest Foundation US is the best place I’ve found for making climate change-related donations. They center the disenfranchised, actively work to improve themselves, and their Rainforest Alert system is more cost-effective than any climate change amelioration efforts I’ve seen. They also seem like an organization of caring people who are in it for the right reasons. Not much more I can ask for.”
– Jon, Treehouse member

Rainforest Foundation US uses a holistic approach when working with our Indigenous partners that includes supporting them in gaining title to their traditional lands, using technology to monitor for signs of deforestation, and improving governance structures to enhance their organizational capacity.
Annual program costs divided by the area of rainforest we’re protecting with our Indigenous partners works out to only $2 per acre per year!
Protecting rainforests is a year-round effort. Your monthly gifts enable us to provide critical, continuous support to our Indigenous partners who are on the frontlines of rainforest protection.
Monthly giving allows us to better plan for the future and respond to ever-changing circumstances in the Amazon and Central America. Every monthly donation has a substantial, long-term impact to help Rainforest Foundation US tackle some of the world’s biggest issues: human rights violations, rainforest protection, and the climate crisis.
