Defend the Natural World at the crossroads of Culture & Nature
There are some fights Nature can’t afford to lose, and that’s why we need your help to fund them. The Overstories Foundation takes them on by working the whole system, moving hearts, minds, markets and policy together. The wins are already showing, and your gift keeps them coming.
The Overstories Foundation is a registered U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
Why Support the Overstories Foundation?
Give to the fights Nature cannot afford to lose.
We know how to win them.
-
Our name comes from the view above the forest canopy. From up there we can see every lever, from public opinion to markets to policy, and pull them together instead of one at a time.
-
Campaigns like Friends of Aldabra show what happens when research, storytelling and mobilisation work as one. We know how to move a system, and we have the wins to prove it.
-
Few organizations leverage culture as a foundational tool for systems change. We built the Foundation around this strategy, turning awareness into public momentum and policy change.
-
Every campaign is built on rigorous evidence and measured by what changes for Nature, not by clicks.
-
Every campaign we take on has a specific target and a clear win. We don't stop at awareness. Philanthropy keeps us independent, so we can keep playing to win.
Prefer to Give Directly?
For donors who prefer to give directly via check, wire transfer, or donor-advised fund (DAF), we provide flexible options to ensure your contribution arrives securely.
