BTN Project Funding and Donations

Back to Natives Restoration Needs your help and support!

Back to Natives Restoration is a Non Profit Public Charity under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to BTN are deductible under section 170 of the IR code as of February 13 2007.. We are qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under section 2055, 2106 or 2522 of the IR Code. BTN is currently seeking donations and funding for several projects and programs that will benefit local communities, public schools and Orange County Resident's Quality of Life. Throughout our website Donation buttons have been placed that Donors can specify what project or program they wish to help fund and make possible.

For membership forms: BTN Membership; BTN Gift Membership

Donations and Grants help to ensure that our programs and services for Education and Restoration will continue. Many schools lack the support and funding to allow children and classes to go on much needed outdoor education experience fieldtrips. BTN recognizes this and strives to provide exciting, interactive environmental education through native plant Habitat Gardens and supporting programs, all aligned with California State Content Standards, that travel TO the school. To be sure that our naturalists have the proper materials and supplies we ask that you donate towards specific programs to enable our schools to have a chance to learn about Natural Science and Biodiversity. Our mission: To encourage and actively participate in the restoration and conservation of Orange County and California wildlands, through education and restoration programs featuring native plants and biodiversity as a centralizing theme.

Through these educational programs we can begin to 'Save Habitat One Person at a Time!'

Staff Salary and Overhead Non-Profit staff are percieved as volunteers by many. Although Non-Profits need volunteers to fulfill many of their goals and functions, core staff members are in fact paid employees at most Non-Profits. BTN wishes to provide competitive salaries and benefits for staff. You can help by assisting us to meet our Salary and Overhead needs. This will enable us to hire and retain qualified, highly educated, experienced and creative staff.

Volunteer Appreciation and Retention Volunteers are the heart blood of most Non-Profits. To this end BTN wishes to thank one and all that have come out to our Volunteer Restoration Days and helped us make this planet a better place in our own backyard! Volunteers deserve recognition and our appreciation. Without them many of our projects would not have succeeded. If you would like to host a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner or BBQ, or even a Beach Day, let us know, we would be happy to put the word out!
