Philanthropy and major gifts

Major gifts have the power to transform landscapes, mitigate climate change, protect wildlife and improve lives.

People like you make it possible for us to safeguard the woods and trees we all need across the UK. These living lifelines lock up carbon, protect us from the effects of climate change, support wildlife and help make us happier and healthier.

But our woods and trees are in trouble. Threatened by disease, damage and development, their health is dwindling and some are disappearing altogether. This is why our passionate team works with inspirational philanthropists to plant beautiful, flourishing woodlands full of life; restore damaged ancient woods to their former glory; and inspire millions of people to enjoy and protect our natural world.

Having donated, I was so impressed with the way the Trust treated me as a supporter and donor. We’ve been acknowledged, educated by excellent visits and events and generally made to feel we matter. Brede High Woods has turned out to be a great success. It’s well managed by the Trust and a wonderful wood.

Our commitment to you

Your gift will make a transformational difference. In turn we promise to:

  • ensure your gift is allocated according to your wishes 
  • allocate a dedicated member of our team to support you in your work with the Woodland Trust 
  • invite you to experience, first hand, the work you are supporting so you can see what a difference you make 
  • regularly report on the impact of your support
  • give you the opportunity to connect with our staff and senior leadership
  • invite you to exclusive events to connect with other, like-minded supporters
  • make sure you feel fantastic for having made such an incredible and positive contribution.

We can’t do our work without you. Every pound you give bolsters our fighting funds, pays for hard graft in our woods and gets trees in the ground. But don’t just take our word for it. Find out what your money is helping to achieve.
