About the Michigan Forest Foundation
The Michigan Forest Foundation (MFF) has been disbanded. All assets and objectives of the Foundation have been transferred to the Michigan Forest Association, because MFA is now itself a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit. This means that anyone can donate directly to MFA and receive the same tax deduction benefits as they did with MFF. Donations can be directed to the following purposes, OR offered as unrestricted:
- Alice and Bill Botti Fund: Forest management plans for forests used for educational purposes (schools, nonprofits, municipal owners);
- Dake Memorial Fund: Forestry- and forest-based publications and videos for students;
- Day Memorial Fund: Publication of the “Michigan Forests” magazine and other forestry education;
- McClain Smith Jr Scholarship Fund: Scholarships for university students studying forestry or related natural resources;
- Dave Wright Memorial Fund: Forestry workshops for K-12 teachers, tree planting and other forestry education.
