About this organization
Mission
California ReLeaf's mission is to empower grassroots efforts and build strategic partnerships that preserve, protect, and enhance California's urban and community forests. California ReLeaf works statewide to promote alliances among community-based groups, individuals, industry, and public agencies, encouraging each to contribute to the livability of our cities, public health, and the protection of our environment by planting and caring for trees.
About
Program Grant ManagementIn 2019, California ReLeaf received generous grant funding for pass-through California Arbor Week grants from Pacific Gas & Electric Service, Edison International, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Gas, and continue with the format of a year-long program. ReLeaf managed 41 Arbor Week Grants totaling $76,000 in pass-through funding.In California Releaf managed five California Climate Investment (CCI) pass-through grants funded through the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. In July 2019, California ReLeaf was awarded new Prop 68 Grant called Relief through ReLeaf to provide funding to state regions that had not received CCI grants.Urban Forest California Climate Investment GrantsIn July 2015, California ReLeaf was awarded its first two California Climate Investment Program (CCIP) grants (formerly known as Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants) from CAL FIRE with an emphasis on planting in Disadvantaged Communities as identified by CAL EPA. These grants continued through December 2019. One grant program entitled Social Equity focused on tree planting while the other, entitled Planting with Purpose, was a CAL FIRE Green Innovation grant, which tended to allow for more community gardens and fruit tree planting. All of the California ReLeafs CCIP grants are intended to provide funding to smaller community groups and encourage new community groups to make tangible improvements to their neighborhoods with trees. In FY2019, California ReLeaf continued to closely support the original twenty grantees, as well as grantees from two subsequent CCI Grants: the 2017 Social Equity Grant (aka Forest Improvement) and the 2019 Social Equity Grant (aka Urban Forest Management) making many site visits as well for the grants closing in 2019. In the lists below, Grantees who have been awarded two CCIP grants over the last four years are indicated by asterisks. ReLeaf also conducted a series of five educational workshops throughout California on ReLeaf and CAL FIRE grant programs as part of releasing a new CCIP pass-through grant Request for Proposals with $800K in funding for the grants.List of California Climate Investment Program Grant Programs & Grantees:2016 Social Equity Grant Program1.Amigos de los Rios*2.CSU Northridge3.Earth Team4.From Lot to Spot*5.Growing Together*6.Industrial District Green7.Madera Coalition*8.North East Trees*9.Parent Pioneers10.Tree Fresno11.Tree San Diego12.Victoria Avenue ForeverList of California Climate Investment Program Grant Programs & Grantees:2016 Social Equity Grant Program1.Amigos de los Rios*2.CSU Northridge3.Earth Team4.From Lot to Spot*5.Growing Together*6.Industrial District Green7.Madera Coalition*8.North East Trees*9.Parent Pioneers10.Tree Fresno11.Tree San Diego12.Victoria Avenue Forever2016 Planting with Purpose Grant Program1.Clean & Green Pomona2.Episcopal Impact Fund3.Fathers and Families of San Joaquin4.Growing Together*5.Incredible Edible Community Garden6.Pacific Housing Inc.7.PUENTES8.Sustainable Claremont*2018 Social Equity Grant Program1.A Cleaner Greener East LA (ACGELA)2.Avenal Historical Society3.Butte Environmental Council4.Climate Action Now!5.Fountain Grove II6.From Lot to Spot*7.Madera Coalition*8.People and Trees*9.Regional Parks Foundation10.Southeast Fresno Community Economic Development Association (SEFCEDA)11.Sustainable Claremont*12.Sustainable Solano13.The Watershed Project14.Your Children's Trees2019 Social Equity Grant Program1.Amigos de los Rios*2.City Trees3.ECO-SLO 4.Friends of Santa Ana Zoo5.Green Tech6.North East Trees*7.Our City Forest8.People and Trees**Grantees who have been awarded two CCIP grants over the last four years.2019 Arbor Week GrantsIn 2019, with the third year of generous funding from the PG&E Corporation Foundation as well as new funding from Edison International, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Gas, ReLeaf awarded $76,000 in pass-through grants to 41 community-based organizations for projects to celebrate California Arbor Week 2019 throughout the year with tree plantings, tree education and care across the state.
