Your support helps Living Roots uplift Palestinian-led initiatives rooted in land stewardship, artisan livelihoods, ecological education, and cultural heritage. One-time and recurring gifts both help our partners plan with greater confidence. Every gift moves with transparency. 100% of donations are processed via Zeffy, a fee-free platform. Your generosity goes exactly where it is intended—no deductions, no hidden fees.
A one-time gift offers immediate support for urgent partner needs, from land care and educational programming to artisan livelihoods and cultural preservation.
Monthly giving helps create steadier support for long-term work — sustaining partners beyond a single event or season.
Sustain our efforts by adopting an Olive Tree through Living Roots Palestine! Olive Tree sponsors receive the olives and oil harvested from their trees this year at the end of January 2027.
Adopting an olive tree is part of Living Roots Palestine’s support for Mashjar Juthour, a not-for-profit in Palestine. Mashjar Juthour is an eco-project on more than four acres of publicly accessible land where native trees are protected and where the community comes to learn about Palestine’s natural heritage. You can learn more about this amazing initiative at juthour.org.
How It Works: Select a one-time payment of $390, a monthly recurring payment of $100, or an annual adoption of $390 (renews January 1, 2027; automatic reminders will be sent). Please note that if you choose monthly payments and the final payment isn’t completed ($400 total) by December 31, you will not receive olives or oil this year.
What You Get: After the November harvest, Mashjar Juthour will press the oil and ferment the olives. We’ll send you a package with 1/2 kilo of traditionally fermented olives and 1/2 kilo cold pressed oil. And, of course, you get to know that the quality of those olives and the oil is because you supported that tree’s care throughout the year!
What You’re Paying For: Shipping the olive oil and olives from Palestine will cost around $60-90, plus the oil and olives are another $45. That leaves around $250 that will go to Mashjar Juthour directly for the care of the tree throughout the year. The adoption is for a one-year period, and you’ll receive oil and olives one time after the harvest (in late January/early February of the following year).
