Grants

Overview
California ReLeaf administers urban forestry grant programs on behalf of the State of California. Grant funding is provided through the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the USDA Forest Service.

Since 1992 California ReLeaf has distributed more than $3.2 million to nonprofit and community-based groups throughout the state for the planting and care of trees on public property, education and outreach projects, and volunteer development. Grant recipients have involved thousands of volunteers in the planting and care of over 101,000 trees and have contributed an additional $4.5 million in donated goods and services, volunteer time, and cash contributions.

2009 California ReLeaf Tree-Planting Grant Program

Funding is available to assist nonprofit and community-based groups throughout California with tree-planting projects on public land.  The program is funded through a contract with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). 

Eligible applicants include incorporated nonprofit organizations and unincorporated community-based groups, with a financial sponsor, located in California.  Individual funding requests range from $1,000 to $7,500.  Applicants may submit only one proposal.  Grants are for the costs associated with the purchase and planting of trees, and the maintenance of those trees during the grant period, insuring the long-term viability of the trees.

Proposals must be postmarked by July 31, 2009.  Grant recipients will have until February 26, 2010 to complete the project.  Click here to download the guidelines and application in Word format, and click here to download the guidelines and application in PDF format.  To request a hard copy, please email us at info@californiareleaf.org or call (530) 757-7332.
