What Tree Eastie Inc does
Mission
Environmental Justice
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Performed maintenance on over 250 public trees in East Boston including watering, fertilizing, mulching, pruning and overall care. These actopns will prolong the life of these urban trees allowing them to add more shade to our streets, sequester carbon, absorb excess groundwater, provide wildlife habitat as well as reduce air and noise pollution. All 40,000 East Boston residents benefited from these actions.
$61,068 spentof which $70,000 as grants47% of program spendingLaunched a program for residents to receive free fruit trees and learn how to successfully grow their own fruit trees. This was done through a series of instructional workshops. We also performed maintenance to an orchard on city owned property and enlisted stewards to care for the trees. We distributed the fruit harvested back into the community. We planted over 50 fruit trees with over 150 residents participating in the program which benefited over 500 individuals.
$43,661 spentof which $50,000 as grants34% of program spendingPlanted over 130 trees in residents yards. Residents received care instructions and were provided a water bag. Each tree was mulched and staked. Homeowners agreed to water and care for the trees for a minimum of two afters after which they would be monitored and watered as needed. We organized the sourcing, transportation and planting of each tree.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $31k to $89k (+183%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund TREE EASTIE INC.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
