Become a tree partner

Your annual donation will be allocated to our available forest projects. We plant half the trees in the Netherlands and the other half abroad.

Trees for All supports various projects worldwide. You can find them all on our project page. As a tree partner, you can choose between two types of projects in the Netherlands and two projects abroad. These are the projects for which we need your donation the most. Tree partners can indicate a preference for their first donation. After the first year, Trees for All allocates the donation to one of the available projects where we are planting trees at that time.

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. We also publish an annual report once a year. In it, you will find an account of our expenses and examples of projects to which donations have benefited.

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.

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.

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.

Every year, we organise several tree-planting days in the Netherlands. These are primarily intended for our corporate forest partners, who have made a donation to a corporate forest. In adition, we also organise one or more tree-planting days for all our other partners and donors. Because we know what fun the planting days are. However, the organisation does depend on our own capacity and that of our project partners.

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.

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.
