Workshop: How to complete a Tree planting funding application

Trees, when planted and managed strategically, bring numerous benefits to communities, such as building climate resilience, reducing energy bills, improving air quality and supporting mental well-being. Through the Green Municipal Fund’s Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC) initiative, municipalities can access up to $10M in funding to grow and protect their urban forests.  

If your community is planning a tree planting project but unsure of next steps to apply for funding, join our hands-on workshop that will help you prepare a strong funding application. We’ll guide you through the updated application process with key steps and requirements highlighted. Whether you’re new to urban forestry or refining a project plan, this session will provide the practical tools, tips and insights needed to submit a high-quality application. The 2-hour workshop will include presentations, document walkthroughs and opportunities for your questions to be answered.  

By attending this workshop, you will:

• Learn how to complete the updated funding application, including the required information and level of detail needed for a high-quality Tree planting funding application.  
• Be able to align your project activities, indicators and budgets with grant reporting expectations.  
• Hear about types of tree planting projects and their specific requirements.
• Boost your confidence in completing the application with minimal errors.  

This workshop is best suited to those actively preparing an application for Tree planting funding. However, anyone interested in Tree planting funding is welcome to participate.
