Trees Atlanta

Thank You for an Electrifying Giving Tuesday 2023!

Electric-Powered Work Truck Funded

This Giving Tuesday was a record-breaking year for Trees Atlanta with $87,412 raised and additional gifts continue to be reported from various employee charitable giving match programs. We are grateful for the spark ignited by our three Supercharge Donors who doubled the first $30K of individual gifts. 

We will share updates on the purchase of the vehicle. Thank you for helping us to add our first electric-powered work truck to our fleet!

We are grateful for your support on Giving Tuesday and throughout the year.

Trees Atlanta's Giving Tuesday fundraising goal is $50,000 to purchase a gently used electric-powered work vehicle to our fleet!

We need your help to meet our Supercharge Challenge Match. ⚡ Donate to double your donations ⚡ 

We're ecstatic to announce, three generous Supercharge Donors have pledged to match up to $30,000! That means your individual donation, gets juiced up instantly! Thank you to these generous matching donors: Georgia Power, Southwire, and an anonymous donor!

Planting over 8,000 per year, hauling tens of thousands of gallons of water, moving people and equipment across metro Atlanta puts a lot of wear and tear on our vehicles. As we replace our worn vehicles, we hope to add clean energy replacements. Your donations this Giving Tuesday helps us make that first purchase.

PLUS, if your employer participates in a company match, don't forget to apply for your individual donation amount to be matched. That could triple your individual donation! 

Thank you for your support.

🌳 Trees Atlanta is a nonprofit community group that protects and improves Atlanta’s urban forest by planting, conserving, and educating. 🌲

Trees Atlanta's work relies on community-lead stewardship of our urban forest by teaching, leading, and inspiring volunteers. 

Each year, thousands of individuals, groups, and businesses volunteer with Trees Atlanta in neighborhoods across metro Atlanta. The outcome of our work is better quality of life, health, and well-being for people in all communities who all deserve access to the benefit of trees.

Since our founding in 1985, Trees Atlanta has:

• Planted over 165,000 trees to date
• Restored hundreds of acres of forested areas in the city
• Lead over 7,000 volunteers annually 
• Partnered with over 60 metro Atlanta schools to bring environmental education into the classroom 
• Hired and trained hundreds of teens through our summer Youth Tree Team, a paid job training program
• Hosted online and in person workshops, classes, and Speaker Series to increase awareness and understanding of the benefits of trees, build skills for planting and caring for trees, and provide a hands-on way to put their knowledge into action 
• Educate tens of thousands of youth and adults in classrooms, summer camp, and at volunteer projects in neighborhoods throughout metro Atlanta
• So much more!

The success of our programs depend on close collaboration with volunteers, community groups, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and municipal partners throughout metro Atlanta. It also is dependent upon funding from organizations and individuals like you.
