Donate Now to Protect
Nature’s Rights
Your gift supports the Callie Veelenturf For Nature Foundation (operating as forNature). Every donation helps us expand beyond our partnership with the National Geographic Society, funding independent projects, education programs, and legal advocacy that give ecosystems and species the protections they deserve.
With your support, forNature can continue to work in tandem with the National Geographic Society, while also acting independently, ensuring agility, creativity, and global reach.
Where Your Donations Go:
Science
Support scientists who generate the data to defend nature by documenting species, ecosystems, and the threats they face. Their research and monitoring provide the backbone for protections that safeguard habitats and ensure nature’s voice is heard in governance.
Policy
Help shape laws and governance that protect nature. Donations fund legal expertise, law drafting, and consultations with experts so Rights of Nature can be written into enforceable protections at national and international levels.
Education
Empower the next generation of environmental stewards through youth programs, curriculum development, and community-based learning.
Storytelling
Bring nature’s voice to the world through films, campaigns, and media that shift culture and inspire urgent action.
The launch of forNature, and our partnership with the National Geographic Society, was made possible by the generous support of The Alfred Kobacker and Elizabeth Trimbach Fund. Their seminal seed funding helped transform an idea into a global initiative, setting the stage for Rights of Nature to reach new communities and countries.
