Thank you for your interest in E.ON U.S.’s Plant for the Planet grant program.

The deadline for proposals has passed. Please check back again in November when the 2010 application will be available. Applications are due in December of each year.

E.ON U.S.'s Plant for the Planet program is modeled after the United Nations Environment Program's (UNEP) Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign. The purpose of UNEP's tree-planting effort is to bring individuals, communities and businesses together to collectively plant over one billion trees worldwide each year. Similarly, E.ON U.S.'s program is designed to encourage nonprofit organizations with a record of successful tree planting to continue their efforts. The company has designated up to $75,000 each year toward this initiative.

E.ON U.S. offers one-year grants of $500 to $5000 for urban, suburban or rural projects in forests and parks, along parkways or roadways that meet program objectives. Applicants must demonstrate that mature trees resulting from their efforts will not interfere with utility lines.

Thank you again for your interest in the grant program. If you have any questions, about the Plant for the Planet Grant Program, please e-mail Katie Greene or call 502-627-3293.
