Is Old-Growth Again a non-profit organization?
Old-Growth Again (OGA), Forever Redwood’s parent company, was founded as a non-profit in the 90’s. OGA was funded initially by small grants. As a thank you, we built beautiful Redwood picnic tables as gifts for our early patrons. The furniture eventually became our main source of income because of the strong response it received. We set up a for-profit corporation to pay taxes on the furniture income. But, all furniture income continues to fund the forest work and we will always keep the idea of giving a gift to the supporters of the forest restoration. As a supporter of our work, you are notified every 3 months (just before each season begins) of new products, what we are doing in the woods, and of special discounts not on the website.
Because of its nature, these discounts are not directly on our website. But, you are encouraged to sign up for our newsletter without buying or making a donation to our non-profit. Signing up for the newsletter will allow you to receive the same quarterly updates that our supporters receive including the discounts. These seasonal “invitation only” sales represent a significant percent of our annual income because we’ve worked hard to build good will over the years from thousands of past furniture buyers and patrons. Hope we can earn yours also.
