The Giving Trees is entering its 4th year delivering free Christmas trees to families in need, and we have reached a point in our growth where we need to secure larger grants/donations.
Toward this end, we are looking for someone who can help prepare/submit grants to philanthropic organizations, some of which we've already identified.
BACKGROUND
The Giving Trees aims to brighten the holiday season for individuals and families who need a little extra care and support - independent of background - by personally delivering free Christmas trees, lights, ornaments, stands and other decorations to them in their homes.
We welcome tree recipients, donors, volunteers, and other supporters entirely independent of religion, race, color, socio-economic status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, language, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, or any other factor. If someone wishes for a Christmas tree and tells us they otherwise wouldn’t get to have one this year, we bring them a tree.

Mission Statement
Brighten the holiday season for individuals and families in need - independent of background - by personally delivering free Christmas trees, stands, lights, ornaments, and other decorations to them in their homes.
Description
The Giving Trees is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that delivers freshly-cut Christmas trees (plus stands, lights, ornaments, and other decorations) to individuals and families - regardless of background - who otherwise wouldn't be able to get one. In 2020, our first year, we delivered 117 trees in the greater Portland area. Last year, we delivered 721 across 12 states. And this coming season, we're planning to deliver >2,500 in all 50 states + 5 other countries.
Our purpose is to spread joy through generosity and service during the December holidays.
We welcome tree recipients, donors, volunteers, and other supporters independent of religion, race, color, socioeconomic status, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, language, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
If someone wishes for a Christmas tree and they self-identify as not being able to get one otherwise, we bring them a tree.
