Uncommon Goods, the online marketplace for unique gifts and home accessories, provides critical support for American Forests’ mission of creating healthy and resilient forests, from cities to large natural landscapes. Through their Better to Give program, they have built a better business by connecting customers with nonprofit organizations across the globe. For every purchase made, Uncommon Goods donates $1 to the Better to Give partner that is selected by the customer ($2 for their members).
The funding American Forests has received from Uncommon Goods has been instrumental over the last 10 years of partnership to expand our staffing capacity, support research, and help to improve planting techniques in projects across the country. In just the last five years, Uncommon Good’s support has helped American Forests to grow and plant more than 14 million trees across North America, complete more than 15 research projects with groundbreaking findings, and work in more than 15 cities across the country to bring Tree Equity to more people.
