The Bay Can't Wait
Your Support Protects Communities, Restores Wetlands, and Defends Our Future
The Time is Now
San Francisco Bay is at a tipping point. Rising sea levels, habitat destruction, and policy rollbacks threaten the future of our region. Without urgent action, we risk losing critical wetlands that shield communities from climate change, protect wildlife, and keep our waters healthy. For more than 60 years, Save The Bay has fought to stop reckless development, restore thousands of acres of wetlands, and secure vital environmental protections. But now, decades of progress are at risk. Your support is the key to defending and restoring the Bay.
Why Give to Save The Bay?
Generations before us took bold action to save San Francisco Bay from being filled, polluted, and turned into a shadow of itself. Because of their efforts, the Bay remains a thriving natural treasure instead of a lost opportunity. Now, it’s our turn to step up and rise to the challenge. When you give to Save The Bay, you...
Advocate for strong climate policies – Powerful interests threaten to roll back environmental protections. Your support fuels the fight for lasting policy solutions at local, state, and federal levels.
Restore vital shoreline habitat – Wetlands are nature’s best defense against rising seas, flooding, and extreme weather. Your gift helps restore these critical habitats before it’s too late.
Inspire future climate leaders – Our programs engage thousands of young people along the shoreline each year. Your support empowers the next generation with the knowledge and passion to fight for a resilient future.
