NeighborWoods™ Month Mini-Grant
Thanks to support from our 2011 NeighborWoods™ sponsors, Alliance for Community Trees is able to offer extra support for local NeighborWoods™ Month events. The purpose of the NeighborWoods™ Month Mini-Grant is to help nonprofit tree groups make their NeighborWoods™ Month events memorable and successful. Grants should enable you to raise awareness and visibility for your event, rather than be the determining factor in whether you organize an event. Eligible events involve the public during October in tree planting, tree care, education, and other activity that engages people in urban and community forestry, and are branded as NeighborWoods™ Month events.
