Charity Spotlight - One Tree Planted
31 Aug 2025 Reading time: 1 minuteSimple, high‑impact: $1 plants one tree.
What is One Tree Planted?
One Tree Planted funds reforestation worldwide. $1 plants one tree. They work with vetted local partners to restore forests, build biodiversity corridors, and expand urban canopy.
- Projects span multiple regions and ecosystems (North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific)
- Emphasis on native species, local jobs, and long‑term maintenance
- Clear project pages with objectives, timelines, and outcomes
Why I recommend it
- Simple, measurable model
- Local partners, real accountability
- Stacked benefits — climate, water, soil, habitat
How to support
Prefer recurring? A small monthly gift (e.g., wildfire recovery or urban canopy) goes far.
Tips to maximize impact
- Pick a theme and stick with it for 6–12 months.
- Use employer matching when available.
