What Tomorrow's Forest does

Tomorrow's Forest Foundation (Fundația Pădurea de Mâine) is a privately held Romanian non-profit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Bucharest, operating a portfolio of five interconnected programmes: Afforestation & Reforestation, Tomorrow's Forest Communities (a 2022-2031 grant programme for community actors in forested areas), Responsible Forestry, Forest School (environmental education), and Agroforestry Systems. The foundation has planted 1,280,154 seedlings across 313 hectares with 5,297 volunteers and supported 53 communities through its grant programme, working in close coordination with licensed Forest Management Units (Ocoale Silvice) for technical execution and ongoing maintenance (minimum three years per plantation). Core methodologies include food forest enrichment planting (edible chestnut and Turkish hazel), Miyawaki mini-forests for urban/nature education, agroforestry systems for soil stabilization, and the use of biodegradable plant-cellulose bioplastic seedling guards.

The foundation generates revenue through a diversified donation model: per-tree individual donations (~€4 / 20 RON per seedling), Romanian tax redirection mechanisms (3.5% of profit tax and 20% of income tax), corporate sponsorships from at least 14 named partners including HS Timber Group, Brink's, DRÄXLMAIER, Color Metal, AECOM, Hutchinson, and One Tree Planted, and re-granting activities via the Communities programme. Distribution is delivered through four primary channels: direct planting via Forest Management Units, an online donation platform, annual competitive grant cycles, and corporate volunteering events. Geographic scope is single-country (Romania), with active planting sites across Prahova, Brașov, Alba, Dâmbovița, and Timiș counties and newer site debuts in 2026.

Leadership combines forestry-industry senior expertise (President Michael Proschek-Hauptmann, former HS Timber Group senior executive), regulatory credibility (Board Member Lucian Filigean, Executive President of PEFC Romania), and political-science/NGO management depth (Executive Director Mihail Caradaică, PhD from SNSPA). The foundation operates with a deliberately lean headcount of five employees, leveraging FMU technical capacity, volunteer labor, and corporate sponsorship to scale output without proportional headcount growth.

Core offering

Tomorrow's Forest Foundation (Fundația Pădurea de Mâine) is a Romanian non-profit that carries out large-scale afforestation and reforestation on degraded land, having planted over 1.28 million seedlings across 313 hectares. It operates an integrated portfolio of programmes: direct tree planting, a competitive community grant programme (€3,000–€30,000 grants), responsible forestry research (including food forests, agroforestry, and Miyawaki urban forests), and a Forest School environmental education programme, all funded through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and Romanian tax redirection.

Product overview

Tomorrow's Forest Foundation operates as a unified portfolio of interconnected environmental programmes rather than a single software product. The core offering consists of five programmes: Afforestation & Reforestation (the primary tree-planting initiative), Tomorrow's Forest Communities (a grant programme funding community forest projects), Responsible Forestry (sustainable forest management), Forest School (environmental education), and Agroforestry Systems (research combining trees and crops). Supplementary to these, the foundation offers a tree planting donation service where individuals can contribute to fund seedling planting at 20 lei per tree.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• WWF Romania: Large incumbent environmental NGO operating in Romania across biodiversity, forestry, and climate. Overlaps with Tomorrow's Forest on forest conservation policy, biodiversity programmes, and corporate partnerships but as part of a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Treedom: Italy-headquartered platform enabling individuals and companies to fund tree planting remotely with per-tree sponsorship and farmer partnerships in the Global South. Directly analogous business model to Tomorrow's Forest's per-tree donation platform with corporate ESG partnerships.
• WeForest: International reforestation non-profit using science-based methodology to restore forest landscapes, with corporate sponsorship and community engagement models closely aligned with Tomorrow's Forest's corporate sponsor and community grant programme approach.
• Trees for the Future: Non-profit focused on agroforestry and reforestation with farmer training programmes in developing regions. Comparable to Tomorrow's Forest's agroforestry systems work (forest trees + agricultural crops) in Oltenia and its farmer/community training orientation.
• One Tree Planted: Global reforestation non-profit and certified B Corp that runs per-tree donation campaigns and partners with local planting organizations. Already listed as a Tomorrow's Forest sponsor/co-planting partner, making it both collaborator and direct peer in the global tree-planting non-profit space.
• Plant-for-the-Planet: Global youth-led reforestation and climate education non-profit combining tree planting with educational programmes, similar to how Tomorrow's Forest integrates planting with its Forest School programme. Both rely on donor mobilization and volunteer events.
• Eden Reforestation Projects: Large-scale reforestation non-profit operating in multiple countries with an employ-and-plant model that combines planting with long-term maintenance, analogous to Tomorrow's Forest's FMU-based maintenance approach. Comparable scale of seedlings planted and global volunteer/donor mobilization.

Others

• HS Timber Group: Largest Austrian-owned wood processing group in Romania and Tomorrow's Forest's most strategic corporate sponsor and Board President alumni network. Enables Tomorrow's Forest's planting operations but operates on the commercial side of the forest value chain.
• PEFC Romania: Forest certification system body in Romania; serves as Tomorrow's Forest's strategic partner for chain-of-custody and forest management certification. Adjacent in ecosystem, with overlap on Romanian forestry regulation, training, and standards.

Regional players

• Asociatia pentru Padurea Prahoveana / Association for the Prahova Forest: Romania-focused forest conservation NGO working in the Prahova valley area where Tomorrow's Forest also runs planting campaigns (Spring 2025 Prahova campaign). Directly comparable in target geography, volunteer mobilization, and forest-protection advocacy in Romania.
