How you can help

An Appeal From Donald S. Kemp
RFFI Board President

November, 2009

Don Kemp President, Board of Directors

As RFFI continues to implement its community-based forestry model, your financial assistance is crucial.

You may not be aware that the Usal Forest property does not generate any cash to fund RFFI's organizational operations. I am very proud to say that all of RFFI's work was accomplished on an annual budget of less than $150,000.

In addition to staff support, outreach, and diligence on other possible acquisition projects, RFFI must find ways to fulfill the matching requirements for its forestry restoration work. Over $1.9 million worth of restoration work has taken place on our 50,000 acre Usal Redwood Forest property over the past two years.

All of these activities are vital to RFFI's mission and they depend upon your contributions for funding. Your donation will enable us to continue our community involvement and restoration efforts and build a strong organizational foundation for the years to come.

When you consider how much we have accomplished on so little cash, I doubt that you can find a place to get more bang for your donation buck. We humbly ask all of you to consider a tax-deductible donation at this time.

As the season of giving approaches, please consider a gift that is truly a positive investment in your world, your community, the forest, and the region's economic future. It is a gift that will generate returns for all of us for generations to come.
