Have Fun While Supporting RFFI!

Thank you, Goldman Fund! For the second year in a row, RFFI has received a $100,000 grant from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund for fiscal year 2009-10 to support general operations and capacity building.

Generous support from our members and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund have nourished RFFI over the past two years. However, RFFI still needs $150,000 for our work in the coming year. Here are some enjoyable ways to help us:

Redwood Painting Safaris

Renown artists Paul Youngman and Edward Duarde are offering instructional "plein air" painting workshops in January and March 2010. Participants in these 4 day "paint outs" become "Sustaining Members" of RFFI, enjoy spectacular local accommodations, a painting llama trek and a guided tour into the Usal Forest on the "Lost Coast." Please click Redwood Painting Safaris or call (707) 937-2660 for details.

Redwood Rescue Project

Help us save 100,000 young Redwoods from destruction! Originally grown for reforestation, the current economic crisis will leave these trees homeless unless we act now. Our campaign of community partners - all listed at www.rffi.org - are seeking sponsors for these trees which will be planted in your honor or as a gift for someone special! Please click Redwood Rescue Project or call (707) 937-4808 for details.

These make wonderful gifts for the holidays or any occasion. Or, support RFFI the old fashioned way, by sending your donation to RFFI at P.O. Box 12, Mendocino, CA 95460, or make a donation online.
