Treegens for Troops

Dedicate mangrove planting to a service member who gave their life, a veteran living or passed, or someone serving today, from any branch and any country. After Stripe confirms the gift and brings you back, you can make an honorary dedication that carries their name, rank and unit, linked to plot-level GPS and video evidence. It does not assign individual trees to a donor.

How it works

Three minutes from gift to dedication

1

Give the bundle

Tap a bundle and pay on Stripe's secure page. Stripe's card processing fee comes out of the gift; nothing extra is charged to you and no tip is asked.

2

Make the dedication

Stripe brings you back with a link to the dedication maker. Add their name and a line for rank, branch, unit, or ship. The maker is not connected to Stripe and cannot verify a gift.

3

Share it

Print it for the family, send it to the unit, or post it on a remembrance day. Its coordinates identify a published reference evidence plot.

Know what the dedication proves. Its coordinates identify a published evidence plot. They do not identify the honoree's trees, verify a payment, or guarantee survival. See the plot-level evidence.

If you are here because you lost someone: we are sorry. You can dedicate quietly, with no public record beyond the dedication you choose to share. If you are organizing something larger, such as a memorial for a whole unit, a ship's company, or a class, write to us and a human will plan it with you.

Good to know

Questions families and units ask

Does the dedication show their rank and unit?

Yes, if you add it. Under the name there is an optional line of up to 60 characters for rank, branch, unit, ship, or dates. You type it yourself; the dedication carries no official insignia.

Can a whole unit, ship's company, or family dedicate together?

Yes. Each person can give through Stripe and make their own dedication with the same name and wording. For a larger memorial, write to us and a human will help you plan it.

Can I dedicate to a service member from outside the United States?

Yes. Treegens for Troops is for any branch and any country. The mangroves are planted along vulnerable coastlines in East Africa, where the Foundation works.

Is this connected to the military or a veterans' charity?

No. Treegens Foundation is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any military, government, or veterans' organization.

What does the ten-cent figure mean?

It is the Foundation's stated average planting cost across a batch, not a fixed price, per-tree invoice, or promise that a particular seedling belongs to the honoree. $10 is shown as support equivalent to 100 mangroves. We do not claim a survival rate, and the dedication is not a survival guarantee.

Is a dedication gift tax-deductible?

This site does not determine deductibility. Check the organization status and the receipt or payment record from Stripe, and ask your tax adviser about your circumstances.

Honor their service with planting you can see.

Support planting in their name, then make the honorary dedication after Stripe confirms payment and brings you back.
