Deadline: 1 April 2017
TREE Fund is seeking applications for its Arboriculture Education Grant Program to support the development of unique, creative or innovative educational programs and materials to foster interest in and enthusiasm for urban and community forests.
Successful project requests must:
- Relate to arboriculture, urban forestry or related disciplines
- Include a hands-on, interactive or experiential component
- Include a sound evaluation component to demonstrate program outcomes and impact
Priority is given to programs that create opportunities for children aged 5 to 18 to gain a better understanding of and appreciation for their own urban and community forests, though such opportunities may be offered in conjunction with family or adult education experiences. While new programs in new markets are highly desirable, proposals that foster significant expansion in the number of participants served by successful programs or the addition of complementary modules to expand successful program content will also be considered.
Funding Information
- Projects must be completed within one year.
- Grant award amounts range from $1,000 to $5,000, and may vary from the amount requested.
Eligibility Criteria
