Background Screening Requirement

In order to be a volunteer or employee with Maryland Forestry Foundation, an organization affiliated with the National Council of Nonprofits or one of their State Associations, each candidate is required to have a criminal background check completed prior to begining their service.

Maryland Forestry Foundation, as a nonprofit organization, typically incurs the cost of all background checks conducted on our volunteers.

If you would like to help us dedicate more of our limited funds to supporting our mission, please consider paying for your volunteer background check via your personal credit card (speak with your Maryland Forestry Foundation administrator if you have any questions).

By self-purchasing your volunteer background check, you will help us provide additional services to those in need.

We are grateful for the support of our volunteers and appreciate your consideration of this offer.
