Partner with us to achieve vital social, economic and environmental outcomes, support American communities and forest health, and neutralize your residual emissions with verified carbon credits.

Why Choose the Family Forest Carbon Program

Our program provides a new, high-integrity approach to forest carbon projects in the voluntary carbon market, offering companies top-quality, third-party verified carbon credits. For companies taking a comprehensive approach to a net-zero emissions strategy, the Family Forest Carbon Program is an effective way to take that last step in addressing outstanding or residual emissions.

We offer companies the opportunity to go beyond carbon by catalyzing the improvement of forest health and wildlife habitat while supporting rural landowners, American families and local communities.

The Family Forest Carbon Program aims to enroll 20% of U.S. family-owned forest acres in climate-friendly practices, which will generate roughly 50 million tons of carbon CO2 equivalents annually by 2030. These are ambitious goals, and your partnership can help us get there.

The High Integrity Option

Taking a step forward in transparency and credibility, the Family Forest Carbon Program has developed a new forest carbon accounting methodology to measure and verify the carbon sequestered and stored by the landowners enrolled. This new approach provides a highly credible claim of additionality.

Our new methodology was officially validated and approved by Verra, the globally recognized nonprofit organization that oversees the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), as of October 2022.

Ways to Partner with Us

There are many ways the Family Forest Carbon Program can support your climate mitigation and philanthropic goals. Explore some of the partnership opportunities and benefits.

Long-Term Offtake Agreements

A long-term offtake agreement allows buyers to purchase a set amount of carbon credits annually and lock in price points for several years into the future. As demand continues to rise and carbon credit prices are expected to increase fifty-fold by 2050, long-term offtake agreements provide companies an affordable price and steady access to carbon credits.

Philanthropic Donations

As the Family Forest Carbon Program aims to enroll 20% of U.S. family-owned forest acres in climate-friendly practices, philanthropic donations will be a vital tool in meeting this substantial need and growing the program at scale. Your support helps us expand into new regions, hire more natural resource professionals to support a diverse population of landowners and strengthen our scientific approach.

Custom Opportunities

From in-kind agreements to other ways to buy carbon credits, connect with us to find the opportunity that best suits your goals.
