Earth share.


Put your workplace-giving dollars to work for trees by donating to AMERICAN FORESTS through Earth Share, a nationwide network of respected environmental and conservation organizations. It's a simple way to care for our health, water, air, land, and wildlife. Earth Share partners with employees and employers across the country to support hundreds of environmental groups through efficient and effective payroll deduction giving.

With payroll-deduction giving, you pledge that a small amount of each paycheck be automatically deducted; when that money goes to AMERICAN FORESTS, you're helping to grow a healthier world with trees and forests. Your payroll deduction contribution can also count as your membership to AMERICAN FORESTS.

As a member of Earth Share, AMERICAN FORESTS participates annually in the largest workplace giving campaign in the nation, the Combined Federal Campaign The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is a program allowing certain charitable organizations to solicit contributions from employees of the Federal Government of the United States.  (CFC CFC
