Friends of the Everglades

Protect the Everglades you love this Give Miami Day! Donations can be made here November 15-20.

Friends of the Everglades is a grassroots nonprofit founded in 1969 by legendary conservationist Marjory Stoneman Douglas to protect Florida’s unique and fragile ecosystems. For over 50 years, we’ve been waging the toughest environmental battles — and winning. We sued to stop a detention center in the Everglades, helped kill a scheme to build golf courses and other harmful development in Florida’s state parks, and we continue to fight toxic algae, sugarcane burning, and threats to clean water. We educate, activate, and empower people to defend the only Everglades in the world — turning public action into real victories.
