July Bonus Day Boosts Donations to SOS Amazônia's Campaign to Protect the Amazon Rainforest

Supporters around the world have a unique opportunity to increase the impact of their donations to the Amazon this wednesday (15). GlobalGiving's July Bonus Day is a special fundraising event that amplifies eligible contributions made to participating projects. During this 24-hour campaign, donations between US$100 and US$1,500 receive a share of GlobalGiving's Incentive Fund, increasing the total amount directed to nonprofit organizations.

Among the featured initiatives is SOS Amazônia's campaign, which aims to raise funds to purchase and permanently protect 45 hectares (111 acres) of intact Amazon rainforest in the municipality of Capixaba, Acre, Brazil. The forest is home to a vital freshwater spring and rich biodiversity, while also supporting the SOS Amazônia Native Seedling Nursery, which produces approximately 450,000 native tree seedlings each year for forest restoration projects across the region.

By donating during July Bonus Day, supporters help strengthen an initiative that combines forest conservation, ecosystem restoration, and water source protection. In addition to the direct value of each contribution, eligible donations may unlock additional matching funds from GlobalGiving's Incentive Fund, further increasing the campaign's impact.

Protecting this area means investing in the long-term future of the Amazon. The project safeguards wildlife habitat, preserves an essential water source, and helps ensure the continued production of native seedlings used to restore degraded landscapes throughout the Brazilian Amazon.

Donations can be made directly through the project's page on GlobalGiving. Every contribution helps keep the Amazon standing and connects people from around the world in a shared commitment to protecting one of Earth's most important ecosystems for future generations.
