Friends of Trees

Help us grow a forest of support.

When you become a Friend of Trees, your monthly gift helps us make our vision of a
thriving workforce living on a healthy planet a reality.
You create unique opportunities for young people to build meaningful careers.
You invest in a thriving urban tree canopy.
You transform both lives and landscapes.

ALL NEW OR INCREASED MONTHLY DONATIONS WILL BE TRIPLED

An anonymous donor will TRIPLE the annual amount pledged in the first year for every new Friend of Trees member or current member who increases their monthly donation.

Every amount helps, but here are some examples to consider:

  • $6/month = $72/year + $216 match = $288 total plants a tree
  • $10/month = $120/year + $360 match = $480 total provides transportation for 1 participant
  • $25/month = $300 annual + $900 match = $1,200 total plants 5 trees
  • $50/month = $600 annual + $1800 match = $2,400 total provides tools and small equipment for 32 participants

Tree Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Federal Tax ID # 41-1291626,
which means your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
