When You Show Up…
the Bay Gets Stronger
It's hard to imagine, but 65 years ago, this map was a real plan for San Francisco Bay: paved over, with nothing left but a shipping channel. Three East Bay women refused to let that happen. They showed up and built a community that's been protecting the Bay ever since.
That movement is still growing, and you're part of it. When you give today:
Native plants go in the ground, and wetlands come back to life.
Students explore the shoreline and learn what makes the Bay special.
Cities prepare their communities for rising seas.
More people can reach the water on the San Francisco Bay Trail.
When we come together, the Bay gets stronger. The next 65 years start now. Will you show up for the Bay today?
When You Show Up...
the Shoreline Comes to Life
A healthy wetland doesn’t grow overnight. It starts with small native plants and people willing to dig in. Season by season, those plants grow, wildlife returns, and brown soil becomes green habitat.
Next year, we plan to plant more than 17,000 native plants, grown in our own nurseries, along the shoreline in Oakland, Hayward, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Mountain View. That’s 17,000 chances for the shoreline to come back to life.
Your gift helps get every one of those plants in the ground.

All gifts are tax-deductible. There are many ways to support a resilient Bay Area. You can give via Donor Advised Funds, stock, matching workplace gifts, or IRAs, all of which can be more tax-smart than giving cash.
You can also include Save The Bay in your will, a simple way to protect the Bay for generations to come. Learn about your giving options by visiting our Ways to Give page.
