A new funding opportunity is available to support community-based environmental projects that promote urban forestry, community engagement, and sustainability in select regions of the Pacific Northwest. This initiative is designed to empower residents, nonprofit organizations, and local groups to contribute to the enhancement of natural environments through strategic greening efforts and educational outreach.
The funding is open to eligible nonprofit organizations, community groups, and other qualified entities that serve neighborhoods within a designated urban area. Priority is given to applicants who demonstrate a strong commitment to equity, environmental stewardship, and collaborative community planning. Projects should be place-based, locally informed, and focused on improving public green spaces, increasing tree canopy coverage, and enhancing community resilience to environmental change.
The intent of the funding is to support projects that offer environmental, educational, and social benefits, particularly in historically underserved or disproportionately impacted communities. Funds may be used for a wide range of activities, including tree planting, maintenance of green infrastructure, educational programming, volunteer mobilization, and development of community partnerships that support environmental justice.
Award amounts vary and may be tailored to fit the size and scope of the project. Selected proposals should demonstrate clear goals, measurable outcomes, and a realistic plan for implementation. Proposals are reviewed based on alignment with program goals, community impact, and organizational capacity to deliver results.
This opportunity offers vital resources for community partners looking to improve environmental conditions, build local engagement, and create healthier, more resilient urban landscapes through inclusive, nature-based solutions.
