What Tree-Plenish does
Mission
Tree-Plenish's mission is to empower youth to create a more sustainable and equitable future through community tree-planting
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The organization did not host tree-planting events during the 2025-2026 academic year. As a result most event related revenue during this year comes from the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Instead of hosting events we focused on rebuilding the technology and educational infrastructure. The previous materials were outdated so we put events on pause to properly prepare for future years.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
We created a new Tree-Plenish website and user dashboard for students to track their event progress. We redesigned the event website that auto-generates for each event. We created a control center that allows us to track all schools progress. We created an outreach center that tracks all outreach to new schools.
$34,474 spent67% of program spendingWe remade all educational videos and written guides. We compiled these resources in an online course on the Learnworlds platform.
$11,428 spent22% of program spendingWe completed 15 tree planting events in the spring of 2025. Some of the revenue from these events accrued during this tax year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $20k to $55k (+179%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
36% of TREE-PLENISH’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $6 → $16.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of TREE-PLENISH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
Where its funders are
100% of TREE-PLENISH's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. 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.
