Last Update: September 16, 2026
Latest change: The Giving Fund page no longer says certain national sustainability or research requests must be directed to the fund or that industry-related national and research funding is by invitation only.
Giving Fund application guidance updated
The Giving Fund page removed guidance that national projects or research programs directly related to the sustainability and importance of working forests must contact the Giving Fund, and it also removed the statement that industry-related national and research funding is by invitation only. This changes the stated application path and the apparent scope for those national and research requests, while the rest of the application steps and required information remain listed on the page.
