LAF is grateful to the many individuals and organizations that provide financial support towards fulfilling our mission to increase the transformational impact of landscape architects and allies.

Much of what LAF is able to accomplish would not be possible without the thought leadership and financial investment of our major supporters, including the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), which provides over $125,000 of in-kind support annually.
