Donor Spotlight

Jean Jenson

Since 1991 Jean has been supporting RAN, and in that time she has contributed nearly $1500 as a Sustainer. Jean also volunteers in the RAN office three days per week when she’s in San Francisco, contributing priceless support to the organization which we have come to rely on!

Josh Pryor

A recent alumnus of Iona College in New York, Josh discovered RAN while researching his senior thesis, “Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest: Impacts, Causes, and ‘Green Business’ Solutions.” He credits his thesis advisor, Dr. Fredrica Rudell, with inspiring him to learn more about RAN, and calls the organization corporate America’s greatest ally…

Eleanor Wasson

Eleanor became a member of RAN in its inaugural year in 1986. Over the years, her many small donations culminated into a grand total of more than $3500. In one of her last great acts, Eleanor made RAN the beneficiary of her 100th birthday presents, helping RAN net over $12,000. Eleanor is a perfect example of how one person can make such a great contribution to RAN – over time and through others.

Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto has been supporting RAN since 2003, donating nearly $2,000. Every six months the children of the congregation are given the opportunity to choose an organization to give money to from Sunday collection and the children have chosen RAN two years in a row!

Linda Nicholes

Wendell Covalt

Since 1994, Wendell has donated over $6,000 to RAN—but Wendell’s support hasn’t stopped there. In a major milestone in the campaign to “Wake Up Weyerhaeuser,” Wendell helped convince fast-food chain In-N-Out Burger to cancel its contract with Weyerhaeuser until the logging giant publicly adopts a global policy to protect endangered forests and respect affected communities.
