The Chesapeake Bay Trust is accepting applications for its Urban Trees Mini-Grant Program to support projects to plant up to 15 trees that enhance livability in underserved communities.
Donor Name: Chesapeake Bay Trust
State: Maryland
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: Ongoing
Size of the Grant: Up to $5,000
Details:
Many communities benefit from having green spaces and trees to promote outdoor recreation, access to shaded areas, improved air quality, improved mental and physical health, and livability. Communities that would like to implement small (15 trees or less) tree planting projects are encouraged to seek support and funding through this opportunity. Ultimately, this initiative will empower communities that have felt disenfranchised to take ownership with the tools needed to improve access to natural resources that connect their neighborhoods to a healthy, greener environment for current and future generations.
The Trust is committed to the advancement of diversity and inclusion in its award-making and environmental work. As a result, the Trust strongly encourages applications directly from underrepresented groups, and for projects that increase awareness and participation of communities that are traditionally underrepresented, such as communities of color.
