Why Your Support Matters

Every native plant restored, every policy victory won, every student inspired — it all starts with you. Because of donors like you, this year we:

  • Planted over 15,500 native plants, restoring wetlands that provide healthy habitats for wildlife and strengthen natural defenses against flooding and sea level rise.
  • Secured major policy victories to safeguard our shoreline and advance climate resilience, including directing $100 million from Proposition 4 toward coastal restoration statewide.
  • Mobilized 2,000+ volunteers, expanding our reach to restore wetlands, protect wildlife, and inspire community action.
  • Engaged nearly 1,000 students from low-lying, Bay-adjacent communities most vulnerable to climate impacts.

These aren’t just accomplishments — they’re a shared victory for the Bay. Keep wonder alive. Give today to protect and restore the Bay today, and for generations to come.

There’s wonder in the Bay.
The kind that smells like salt and mud,
that soaks your sneakers, that makes you laugh
because you forgot the tide comes in fast.

Wonder is a heron taking off like a prehistoric jet.
It’s the bark of sea lions on the docks.
It’s a kid planting Gumplant and shouting,
Look, I saved the Bay! And maybe they did.

But wonder isn’t just out there. It’s in you.
It’s in every time you say: Yes, I’ll show up.
Yes, I’ll dig in. Yes, I’ll fight for this place.

Wonder isn’t quiet.
It’s loud. It’s messy. It’s alive.
And if you let it,
it will change the way you see the world.

The Bay is wonderous.
So are you.
