CFA - How to donate

How to Donate

Personal donations

Donations by members are fundamental to the CFA and can be used in many ways, including support for the Young Forester Award, assisting the development of workshops, or just to help with our continuing programme to develop connections between foresters - just tell us where you want the money to go. For example, £50/$77 will enable us to send 20 copies of Commonwealth Forests to developing country foresters, £100/$154 will enable us to provide free online access to the International Forestry Review to forestry institutions in a developing country, while £1000/$1540 will help support one of our Young Foresters Award winners in their three-month work placement.

Sponsorship of a Special Issue of the International Forestry Review

Special Issues of the International Forestry Reivew provide a state-of-the-art look at the most topical forestry issues and are widely read by researchers, educators and policy makers. Recent Speicial Issues have dealt with gender, taxation, participatory foresty, food security, forestry in China, illegal logging, NTFPs and REDD and have been sponsored by CIFOR, DFID, The World Bank, CIRAD, RECOFTC, FAO, Forest Trends and the Commonwealth Foundation. Donors can either support planned Special Issues or can suggest topics of particular interest.

Gift Membership - supporting Developing Country foresters

One of our main objectives is to support the development of the next generation of foresters and we do this mainly throuhg our awards, The Young Forester Award, the Young Scientist Publicaiton Award and the CFA Young Scientist Research Award. However, we also want to encourage young foresters to join us but are aware that this is difficult for some to fi nd the funds to pay for an annual membership. People like Shiva. . .

I am Shiva Pokhrel, a Nepali student of Forestry and Natural Resources Conservation studying at HNBGU Uttrakhand, India. Conservation of natural resources and sustainable development are the need of the present world, so I selected my career in forestry to gain the knowledge that can fullfi l this need. I want to be a member of an organization where I can gain the various knowledge that are taking place in international level. When I opened the link of the CFA I came to know many things about world forest news, youth activities and the different awards that your organization provides. I felt that I wanted to be member of the CFA so that I can link with the people from different part of the world and can share and gain the various knowledge related with forestry.

One of our members has been kind enough to pay for Shiva’s membership for three years (£15 per year) which will mean that he will be able to receive the CFA Newsletter, gain access to the International Forestry Review and particiapate in CFA activities. If you would like to help support young foresters like Shiva who would like to join the CFA but are unable to for financialreasons then please contact us.
