We are grateful to all 1,250 of our individual volunteers! We wish we could have seen more of you this year and we can’t wait until we can all be together in the field again. Thank you for being part of our community!
In 2020, the generosity of Canopy’s donor community shone through, and allowed tree planting, nature education, and urban forest advocacy to continue. During the fiscal year (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020), 386 donors contributed $288,703. By December 2020, another 130 supporters had joined them.
In spring 2020 and fall 2020, special groups of supporters inspired others to invest alongside them by creating a matching pool to double individual contributions.
Canopy’s is profoundly grateful to each and every one of our donors, past and present. Your partnership is transformative!
