Green Streets Program Funding Open!
Posted on | February 25, 2010 | No Comments
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has just announced a new partnership with Tree Canada that includes title sponsorship of its Green Streets program over the next three years.
“Green Streets is the only national tree program that works with communities, and it fits perfectly with our goal to preserve and enhance the environment at a grassroots level,” said Mary Desjardins, Executive Director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “Ultimately, this is about bringing the ‘green’ back to Main Street – celebrating the health of public spaces in cities and towns across Canada.”
Tree Canada is a not-for-profit organization that has planted more than 76 million tree across the country since its inception and manages the ongoing care and maintenance of all its plantings.
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) - through its Green Streets Program - will award 20 communities with grants for planting and maintaining trees this year … which is timely, given that TD FEF is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2010.
The Green Streets program is open to all municipalities and First Nations communities in Canada.
Based on the community size and need, grants of up to $15,000 are given, with a maximum of 50% of the grant allocated towards the cost of tree-planting. The remainder can be used for inventory, maintenance, and educational activities.

The announcement of 2010’s 20 winners will be made in April.
