Give land or property
A home, a stretch of woodland or a property in another part of the world could become a place where young people learn together, or a source of income that makes their programs possible.
Talk with FFI about a propertyFFI’s long term vision connects programs, campuses and financial strength. A property can serve all three: hosting youth, welcoming visiting groups and earning income that supports our work throughout the year.
We welcome conversations about gifts of land, personal homes and other properties, in New England and around the world. The starting point is what your property could make possible and how we can care for it responsibly.
New England
We are looking for an opportunity to develop a New England forest retreat: a place to step away from daily distractions, spend time outdoors and learn alongside others.
Woodland, trails and space for gathering could support youth programs, alumni retreats and environmental learning. Land with an existing home or buildings may offer a starting point for that vision.
Discuss land in New EnglandHomes and buildings
A personal home could welcome a small group, house visiting facilitators or provide rental income that supports FFI’s programs. Other properties may offer room for workshops, shared meals or residential learning.
We look at each property individually. Its location, condition, permitted uses and ongoing costs help determine whether it can serve groups, earn income or do both.
Discuss a home or buildingLeonard Seagren’s gift of the Boom Creek property gave FFI a rainforest setting for its work in Belize. It shows how a donor’s vision for a place can become part of a much larger story.

Our strategy brings together physical campuses and locally rooted FFI organizations. Buildings provide space for programs; local leadership, alumni and partners build lasting connections with the surrounding community.
The regions below are opportunities in our long term strategy, not announcements of open campuses. A property gift, trusted local partner or introduction could help us explore what is possible.

A future hub should reflect our values, respect its surroundings and grow through local relationships.
Start a conversation
Tell us where it is, what the land or buildings are like, and what you hope a gift could accomplish. Photos and a brief description are a helpful start.
Whether you are considering a gift now or as part of your future plans, we would welcome a conversation. We will explore the fit with you before any commitment.
