About Tree Trust

Tree Trust is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 41-1291626) that combines community forestry with workforce development. The organization runs career-pathway programs (including YouthBuild and summer youth employment), community tree sales and planting initiatives, environmental education in schools, and a professional landscape services arm that supports its mission. In recent years Tree Trust has partnered with Minneapolis and Saint Paul municipal programs (including City Trees and Green Zones initiatives) to deliver subsidized and free trees, and to engage residents and volunteers in planting and stewardship. The organization reports substantial annual planting and volunteer activity and operates paid training programs that connect youth and trainees to green-career employers. Tree Trust remains an active, donor-facing charity with public financial filings and ongoing program activity; recent Form 990 filings show multi-million dollar annual revenue primarily from program services and contributions, reflecting continued program scale and municipal/state partnerships.
