We want a planet where nature and people advance together in harmony. And you, will you join us?


What can you help with?
What can you help with?
You currently have the opportunity to directly support CREAF through three institutional philanthropic funds. You can choose the option that resonates with you the most:

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FUND
It allows us to advance the frontiers of science in a safe, friendly and efficient working environment. You directly support our limited structural resources to accelerate our research where it is most needed: material and technical equipment for scientific projects -especially for fieldwork-, improvement of infrastructure and adaptation of staff workspaces to improve the working environment, etc.

CITIZEN SCIENCE FUND
It allows us to continue improving the direct transfer of scientific knowledge to citizens and their environmental commitment. It drives and energizes CREAF's citizen science projects to together promote and lead open and participatory science throughout the scientific process, based on the direct cooperation of citizens as 'scientific volunteers'.

RESEARCH FUND FOR THE FORESTS OF THE FUTURE
It allows us to contribute to improving the situation of Mediterranean forests, helping us to promote smart forest management (based on forestry research) and the research talent of the center. Let's join forces to protect the forests of the future! Includes i. Research Grants to support Young and Senior Talent so that they can continue to advance in their research), and ii. Scientific Grants to promote responsible, sustainable and applied forestry science in an efficient work environment.
Now you also have the opportunity to join our growing CREAF Patron-Friends Community : we will keep you informed of the latest news and scientific discoveries in global change and ecology, priority access to events and training, guided tours, and much more!
Thanks to your support, CREAF's scientific research in ecology now has a new impetus to:

Advance in finding solutions for the major environmental problems with great socio-economic impact (drought, sustainable agriculture, urban green spaces, fires and healthy forests, climate change, etc.)

Accelerate our work to create and contribute knowledge and innovative methodologies

Promote environmental awareness

Promote the exchange of knowledge
Together we will achieve a new Scientific and Environmental Culture in society!

- develop new solutions for the climate emergency (new digital tools and methodologies, demonstration projects, participatory governance projects, etc.)
- continue to produce the scientific evidence needed to
- inform public administrations-politicians-managers (reports, guides, manuals, training, etc.)
- train people with tools and knowledge to make the best decisions in public debate (talks, participatory workshops, training, etc.)
- disseminate our science of excellence in ecology, climate change and biodiversity to society to promote a culture of knowledge and responsible environment ( training society through scientific dissemination, environmental awareness and education, cooperation and participation in scientific volunteering, scientific vocation, equal opportunities, etc.)
- act as a bridge to continue uniting the efforts of all actors in the territory to improve our environment in a comprehensive and sustainable way over time
As a public center, we inform our collaborators, as well as the entire public who accesses our communication channels, in an open and transparent manner annually about the lines of work that have been able to be promoted, enhanced, accelerated and innovated thanks to the contributions of our growing Community of Patrons and CREAF Friends.
Ecology moves us! CREAF is a public research center that provides scientific evidence and solutions to solve the biggest and most complex challenges facing the planet and society in the 21st century with a major socio-economic-environmental impact (biodiversity loss, climate change, water scarcity, forest management, land use change, etc.). We have been providing knowledge and tools for +35 years around the world: conservation, management and adaptation of the environment and society to global change . With a global and holistic vision , we address each challenge, with a special focus on the Mediterranean (extremely vulnerable to climate change).
If you share our same values and want to join our collaborative science, accompanying us in our mission as donors-collaborators of the center, you will have the opportunity to be part of our growing Community of Patrons and CREAF Friends : let's go hand in hand with science for a rigorous and reliable knowledge society to achieve our global health together!
Now your donation costs you even less, whether you are an individual or an entity/self-employed person! We can offer you tax advantages for your donation/financial aid (tax deduction on your income tax return at the national/regional level, IS or annual expenses).
In addition, your sustained commitment and support for science is rewarded! With the legislative improvements at the regional level, and also at the state level, you have the opportunity to access greater benefits with the recurrence of your contributions by being part of our growing Community of Patrons and Friends of CREAF .

And so much! All our participatory projects would not be possible without the crucial cooperation of our community of committed scientific volunteers , now + 700 people involved in citizen science . People are the heart of our organization, thanks to all of you! Here you will find the different opportunities to participate!
