INVEST IN GREENING

Greening's trained volunteers and expert staff use good science and a practical approach to improve our community. And our collaborative approach helps Greening make the most of contributed funds. While Greening relies on volunteers and donated materials whenever possible, some expenses can only be covered by financial contributions from people like you. Every gift helps restore the Twin Cities' native landscape.

Great River Greening is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable. Review our latest annual report
