Regular Grants
This funding opportunity provides financial support to Wisconsin cities, towns, counties, tribes, and nonprofit organizations for projects that improve urban tree management, maintenance, and education.
Description
The Regular Urban Forestry Grants support projects aimed at enhancing a community's ability to manage its trees. Eligible applicants include cities, villages, towns, counties, tribes, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Wisconsin. Grants range from $1,000 to $25,000, requiring a 50-50 match, with total project costs ranging from $2,000 to $50,000. Eligible projects must focus on tree management, maintenance, or education in urban areas. The sponsor initially funds the entire project and then requests reimbursement for 50% of eligible costs upon completion. Projects start on January 1 and must be completed within one year.
