TLDR (Too long, didn’t read): We get it – life can be overwhelming and busy, and supporting the planet, our city, and its trees can sometimes fall to the bottom of the priority list. But with an evergreen donation of as little as $5/month, you can be sure you’re making a real difference in your community, tree by tree.
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving that kicks off the year-end giving season. At Casey Trees, we wanted to take this opportunity to reach out before your inbox becomes full of other – albeit worthy and important – requests for support.
2024 has been a great year for our city’s tree canopy. This year, we planted a record number of trees – over 7,000 – and have even bigger plans for 2025! But we can’t achieve those goals without your sustained and consistent support. Please consider becoming a recurring donor today by joining our Evergreen program. A monthly gift of any amount makes you an Evergreen donor, while monthly and one-time gifts of $50 or more also make you a Casey Trees member. Members receive advance registration to events, early access to our annual Tree Report Card, and a discount at our online store.
Trees are vital to our environment and well-being, offering many benefits. They improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They provide shade and cooling, helping to reduce energy costs by lowering temperatures. Their roots prevent soil erosion and promote water retention, contributing to healthier ecosystems. Beyond their ecological advantages, trees have been shown to improve physical and mental health and reduce stress and anxiety, making them invaluable assets to our communities. They are a true investment in our future.
A recurring donation is the easiest way to support our work and provides the greatest impact, allowing us to plan well into the future. It gives us the ability to both plant trees in the immediate and care for those trees in the long term, ensuring a robust tree canopy for everyone in the DMV region. There is still much work to be done to reach our collective 40% tree canopy goal by 2032, but your recurring donation today can help us get there!
