Funding Opportunity for Faith-Based and Environmental Justice Organizations

In partnership with the Forest Service, American Forests is launching their second funding opportunity to support both faith-based organizations and frontline environmental justice organizations in advancing your Tree Equity initiative. The Tree Equity Catalyst Fund resources frontline, environmental justice, and under-served populations with both technical knowledge and funding to help them advocate for, plant and steward trees where they are needed most.

The Catalyst Fund prioritizes reaching those organizations with the greatest opportunity for social impact, but face the highest barriers to participation. This includes faith leaders, organizations and congregations, frontline organizations new to the work of urban forestry or with limited capacity, and cities and towns facing financial constraints that  have been not historically well represented in the field of urban forestry. The application deadline is October 25. For more information go to https://www.americanforests.org/catalyst-fund/#info.
