What We Do: Fighting for a Juicy Future
Florida’s citrus groves are in trouble. Diseases like citrus greening, changing weather patterns, and creeping urban sprawl are turning once-thriving orange groves into barren landscapes set for new development. But at the Save Florida Citrus Groves Foundation, we don’t just watch it happen—we help take action. Your contributions help us provide direct grants to small citrus farmers.
Our volunteers can help breathe life back into abandoned citrus groves, nursing them back to health with sustainable farming practices. We conduct research to learn about combatting diseases threatening the trees. And when prime land is at risk of being lost forever, we look to step in with Gift-a-Grove, to acquire new acreage for planting vibrant groves that will feed future generations.
But that’s not all. We advocate with facts, determined to keep Florida’s citrus industry thriving for years to come.
Every contribution helps us restore groves, advance research, promote education, fight disease, and protect Florida’s citrus heritage. Join us—because saving Florida oranges is about more than just fruit, it’s about preserving a piece of Florida’s heart.
