Through outreach, partnerships, and public engagement, we raise awareness of the many co-benefits trees provide-including heat reduction, air and water quality improvement, and enhanced public health-particularly in under-canopied and historically underserved neighborhoods. 110557 119210 As part of our urban tree carbon offset program, Green Cities Accord partners with municipal forestry departments to protect and maintain trees for at least 25 years. This long-term stewardship ensures that newly planted trees survive to maturity and provide maximum climate, environmental, and public health benefits. Verified carbon offsets are sold to companies working toward decarbonization, and the revenue is reinvested in additional tree planting and care. 18815 10100 We raise and distribute funding to support public-sector urban forestry across the Twin Cities metro area. Through private donations, grants, and philanthropic partnerships, we provide direct financial support to municipal forestry departments to plant and maintain new trees-expanding the urban tree canopy in communities that need it most 0 0 0 280783 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X Green Cities Accord 4696675800 PO Box 582877 Minneapolis MN 55458 Michaela Neu Director of Programs and Operations 40 0 X X X 108600 0 5505 David A Wilson Chair 1 X X 0 0 0 Jay Cowles Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Todd Wagner Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Joseph Peris Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Andy Warczak Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Curt Trisko Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Peter Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jill Fuller Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Al Bangoura Director, Ex Officio 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tim Sexton Director, Ex Officio 1 0 X 0 0 0 108600 0 5505 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 215294 24000 215294 0 0 0 0 0 80643 80643 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Urban Forest Funds 541900 10100 10100 0 0 Carbon Offset Proceeds 541900 119210 119210 0 0 0 0 0 0 129310 425247 209953 0 0 129372 129372 105525 63315 21105 21105 3555 2133 711 711 1950 1170 390 390 8885 5331 1777 1777 775 465 155 155 39186 23512 7837 7837 2666 1600 533 533 30884 30884 5837 5837 7595 4557 1519 1519 24000 14400 4800 4800 950 570 190 190 1860 1860 0 2415 1449 483 483 2536 1522 507 507 Miscellaneous adjustments and expenses 839 503 168 168 368830 280783 42035 46012 392299 153256 1605807 1865506 4870 1000 4831 4581 2665 250 2005641 2020012 25785 54333 0 54333 25785 X 252636 521735 1698672 1472492 1951308 1994227 2005641 2020012 56417 0 0 0 -13498 0 X 0 0 0 X 170672 241464 222830 292307 344604 1271877 170672 241464 222830 292307 344604 1271877 1271877 752 3817 11103 43646 80643 139961 7137 26250 58520 91907 1503745 0.84581 0.467 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Misc Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4831 4581 250 0 0 0 0 250 1 Minneapolis Parks & Recreation 2117 West River Road Minneapolis MN 55411 264259628 City Government 97895 The intention of this assistance is to directly support urban forestry activities, including tree purchase, tree planting, and tree maintenance.
