Branching out in the community: Apply for our tree-planting grant program

Calling all nonprofit organizations and local governments – it’s time to put our annual Plant for the Planet Matching Grant Program on your calendar. The program encourages tree planting to help better local communities. And next month (Oct. 1–31), we’ll be accepting applications to request funding for tree-planting projects. All applications must be submitted electronically at lge-ku.com/environment through our online grant portal. Click on “Plants and wildlife” to submit your application.

We award matching grants ranging from $500 to $5,000. Grant award notifications will be sent in December.

The Plant for the Planet Matching Grant Program is modeled after the United Nations’ Billion Tree Campaign, which seeks to plant a billion trees around the world each year.
