Your contribution helps pay for individual trees, their plantings and maintenance. Your investment provides for collecting stories, identifying ongoing planting activities and providing additional opportunities for community participation. The funds donated to the general account are being managed by the Arizona Community Tree Council, a 501(c)(3) organization with more than 20 years of experience dedicated to care and planting of trees and promoting the education and exchange of information about trees and the essential role they play in the well being of all Arizona communities.
