Take a look at the frequently asked questions for new tree partners.
Where do we plant?
Your annual donation will be allocated to our available forest projects. We plant trees in the Netherlands and abroad. We aim to plant 50% in the Netherlands. This percentage can change every year, if, for example, the number of foreign forest projects increases. The Netherlands is a relatively small country and the number of forest projects is more limited.
Can I choose a project myself?
Partners can indicate a preference for a foreign project for their first donation. After the first year, Trees for All allocates the donation to one of the available foreign projects where we are planting trees at that time. Dutch trees are allocated on the basis of the available projects.
How will I be informed by Trees for All about how my donation is being spent?
At the end of each year, we inform you about the locations where your trees have been planted or will be planted. This way you know exactly how your donation is spent and you can communicate about this.
Is it possible for my customers to receive a certificate as proof of tree donation?
After each donation you will receive an official certificate as proof of your donation with the number of trees. If you want your customers to have their own certificate as proof of donation, you can make your own design in your house style with use of our logo. On this certificate you can note the amount of trees planted for the specific customer.
I want to become a tree partner, but for a fixed amount. Is that possible?
Yes, that is possible. You indicate in the statement how much you want to donate annually.
How does it work with the payment of the donation?
By signing the cooperation statement, you guarantee an annual donation of at least 750 euros. After we have received the cooperation agreement, we will send you a payment request for the first donation as indicated in the agreement. You will then automatically receive a payment request of the annual donation amount you have chosen every year in the same period. If you would like to donate more than you have indicated in the agreement (for example because you have sold more than you estimated), you can do so via the donation link that we send you at the end of each year.
Do I have to pay VAT on my donation?
Stichting Trees for All is a registered charity with no profit motive. Corporate partners of Trees for All do not owe any VAT on the amount of their donation.
May I use the visual and video material royalty-free for my own communication?
Yes, the visual and video material we share with you may be used royalty-free in your digital communication. If you wish to put the Trees for All logo on products or printed material, please contact us beforehand through info@treesforall.nl, as you will need our written permission to do so.
Can I plant my trees myself?
Every year, we organise tree planting days in the Netherlands for our corporate forest partners. The tree planting seasons are in the spring and the autumn. Depending on capacity, we are happy to invite more people, but we cannot promise anything in advance.
If I plant trees, do I automatically offset my carbon emissions?
Many people want to know exactly how much CO2 is compensated by planting trees. However, this question is not so easy to answer. CO2 capturing is calculated on the basis of surface area (hectares) and growth years and depends on many factors, such as type of trees, climate and type of soil. It is a process of years in which the forest develops from a dense forest with many saplings, to an open forest with mature, tall trees. In the end, there are much fewer trees than the number that was initially planted. In addition, a planted tree initially stores relatively little carbon. As trees age, they capture more and more carbon and then level off again at the end of the tree’s life.
Trees for All has several projects worldwide so it is difficult to give an average. In the Netherlands we work with the key figures from WUR and Probos: https://edepot.wur.nl/513649. Abroad there is a big difference whether you restore a rainforest or plant trees in very dry areas. We provide an indication per project and we intend to have a detailed calculation also made for all non-certified projects.
Important to know: if you donate trees to us, you can say that you contribute to CO2 compensation, but you cannot formally claim an amount (tonne) of CO2. This is only possible through certified CO2 rights (credits). Are you interested in compensating formally? Then choose for a CO2 partnership.
Can I become a CO2 partner as well?
If you want your business to be carbon neutral, you can also choose to become a CO2 partner and to offset your carbon emissions in a formal way. You can find more information about the CO2 partnership here.
