When you donate to Grassroots Ecology, you are contributing to vibrant, healthy lands and ecosystems across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties—helping nature flourish everywhere from our forests and creeks to our city parks and streets. What’s more, you are propelling new generations of environmental stewards who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and inspiration to protect and restore nature and make our world a better place.

Your generosity powers our ongoing restoration and education programs across two counties, while also allowing us to adapt and create new programs that meet the evolving needs of local lands and communities. 

Our mission is only attainable through the participation and support of many different people and partners, which is why our programs are predicated upon collaboration, volunteerism, and philanthropy. The more of us who come together, the greater our power. 

But while there is power in numbers, we believe that deep engagement of our community is equally important—from our volunteers and youth participants to our donors.  We would love to hear your goals and vision for philanthropy, and have the opportunity to respond to any questions or feedback you have for us.
