You may have heard that we are part of the Jersey Giveback Guide, a project of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation to help great New Jersey nonprofits fundraise during the holiday season. The Dodge Foundation challenged us to get 50 people to donate to the NJ Tree Foundation. With extreme gratitude, we are excited to announce that we met our 50 donor goal and will receive a $1,000 match grant from the Dodge Foundation! THANK YOU to those who have already donated – you made this possible!
Now we are challenging you to keep the generosity going! If you have not already, please join the group of more than 50 people who have donated to the NJ Tree Foundation. Your donation helps our tree recipients, like the People’s Garden and the Pedal Farm. These community gardens rallied their neighborhood to plant 46 trees in Newark last spring.
and local organizations including two schools, a church, a park, and the community gardens all collaborated to plant and adopt trees. Everyone was involved – kids, youth, adults, and even a family dog participated on the planting day!The variety of trees planted have transformed the neighborhood by adding shade and beauty while improving the environment. Some will bear fruit in the fall, too! Collectively, the trees and new tree pits will intercept more than 18,000 gallons of stormwater annually. This neighborhood was renewed because of these trees. You can help us continue this work in 2015 by making a tax-deductible donation. We hope you will partner with us to improve New Jersey by planting trees!
