Your Gift Takes Root
Give someone a meal, and they have food for a day. Plant food-bearing trees, and they have food for generations.
Sadhana Forest practices gift economy. Our work is funded entirely by donations and grants. Your gift makes it possible for forests and communities to grow beautifully into the future.
While one time donations help us meet the need of the moment, monthly donations help us sustain our work and plan well ahead.
