Tree Trust is At Bat for Impact

Picture this: Tree Trust in the batter’s box, the bases are loaded, and we are one swing away from a grand slam for Minnesota’s environment. We are excited to be featured by the Minnesota Twins and Thrivent in their fan-directed At Bat for Impact philanthropy program. Thanks to this all‑star partnership between the Minnesota Twins and Thrivent, every single fan vote we collect between now and August 10 unlocks funding to plant more trees and open more career pathways for local youth.

We’re featured alongside three other awesome organizations—our fellow Planting Purpose Partners—doing unique and powerful work to cultivate community and grow brighter futures: Great River Greening, Urban Roots, Spark-Y, and Youth Farm. Attend a Twins game now through August 10 to see Tree Trust featured on the big screens during game time!

Why This Campaign Matters

The Twins and Thrivent created At Bat for Impact so fans can rally behind hometown nonprofits that steward community and the planet. This summer they’ve invited four environmental heavy‑hitters to step up to the plate:

Tree Trust – Transforming lives and landscapes through tree planting, youth employment, and green‑industry training.

Great River Greening – Restoring native prairies, forests, and waters.

Urban Roots – Empowering youth to grow food, steward parks, and lead community health projects.

Spark-YEmpowering youth through hands-on education rooted in sustainability and entrepreneurship.

The best part? There’s no rivalry! Every organization can win up to $12,500 when we round the bases together!

United by a shared commitment to building a better tomorrow, the Twins and Thrivent are inviting fans to help make an impact. All season long, they’re featuring local nonprofits doing powerful work to cultivate community and build a brighter future for young people across Twins Territory. Your votes will unlock donation dollars and help our community learn more about the powerful work we do along with our Planting Purpose partners. Every vote of support helps Tree Trust advance around the bases and unlock donation dollars at each base!
