California ReLeaf is pleased to announce $40,000 in funding for the Growing Green Communities grant program sponsored by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).
Donor Name: California ReLeaf
State: California
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/09/2023
Size of the Grant: $3,000 – $5,000
Details:
This grant is an urban forest incubator grant to engage new community-based organizations in tree-planting activities within PG&E’s five service regions. This grant program encourages community-based organizations to plant trees as a way to grow greener, stronger, and healthier neighborhoods, bringing many benefits, including cleaner air, cooler temperatures, and stronger social bonding.
Tree planting events are wonderful community engagement and education events about the importance of trees in promoting community health and combating climate change. They invite you to apply to host a tree-planting project in your community. Depending on the COVID-19 impact locally, projects can include in-person events and/or virtual engagement and education (often before the tree planting), and other COVID-safe activities, such as watering and monitoring the trees after planting.
