DescProgram Grant ManagementIn fiscal year 2018, California ReLeaf received generous grant funding for pass-through Arbor Week grants from Pacific Gas & Electric Service and extended the program to be year-long. ReLeaf managed twenty pass-through grants with CAL FIRE Greenhouse Gas Reduction grant funding received in FY2016 and released a new RFP for $800K in pass-through grants for a grant awarded in FY2018. Urban Forest Greenhouse Gas Reduction GrantsIn July 2015, California ReLeaf was awarded two Greenhouse Gas Reduction Grants from CAL FIRE with an emphasis on planting in Disadvantaged Communities as identified by CAL EPA. These grants will continue through December 2019. One grant program entitled Social Equity focuses on tree planting while the other, entitled Planting with Purpose, is a green innovation grant. All of the ReLeaf GHG Reduction Fund grants (now known as the California Climate Investment Program, aka CCIP) are intended to provide funding to smaller community groups and encourage new community groups to make tangible improvements to their neighborhoods with trees. In FY2018, California ReLeaf continued to support the twenty current grantees, making several site visits as well. ReLeaf also conducted a series of five educational workshops throughout California on ReLeaf and CAL FIRE grant programs as part of releasing a new CCIP pass-through grant Request for Proposals with $800K in funding for the grants.2018 Arbor Week GrantsIn 2018, with the second year of generous funding from the PG&E Corporation Foundation, ReLeaf awarded $40,000 in pass-through grants to 20 community based organizations for 21 projects in two cycles to celebrate California Arbor Week 2018 throughout the year with tree plantings, tree education and care throughout the state. The grants averaged $2,000.2018 Arbor Week Grantees:1.Abraham Lincoln High Scholl PTA, San Francisco2.Arden Park Tree Program, Sacramento3.Benicia Tree Foundation, Benicia4.City Trees, Redwood City5.Climate Action Now!, San Francisco6.Common Vision, Richmond7.Dana Adobe Nipomo Amigos, Nipomo8.Dolores Huerta Foundation, Arvin9.Green Technical Education and Employment, Sacramento10.Growing Together, Oakland11.Groundwork Richmond, Richmond12.Napa County Resource Conservation District, Napa13.Rotary International, Wheatland14.Tree Davis, Davis15.Tree Foundation of Kern, Bakersfield16.Tree Fresno, Fresno17.Sierra Foothill Conservancy, Mariposa18.Valley LEAP, Huron19.Westside Elementary School / Felta Education Foundation, Healdsburg20.Woodland Tree Foundation, WoodlandDesc

DescEducation and Outreach This program strengthens grassroots efforts by engaging the general public, community leaders, interested organization, and urban and community forestry professionals. California ReLeafs programs are designed to educate Californians about the value and benefits of trees as well as sound tree care practices. In addition to USDA Forest Service funding, a CAL FIRE grant started in 2017 supported the better understanding of urban planning and urban design concerns and priorities with respect to urban forests.Integrated Grant Project Development continued in FY2018Started in FY2017, California ReLeafs goal is to foster better communications and connection between urban forest community based organizations and urban design professionals, who have significant authority and impact on the built environment and where urban trees can be planted. The project will be completed in FY2019.FY2018 Education & Outreach Accomplishments:Newsletters Circulation for mailed newsletters: over 2,000 recipients. Newsletters can be found online in PDF format at http://californiareleaf.org/newsletter/The Winter 2018 issue focused on Re-Oaking California based on the findings of a recent research project by the San Francisco Estuary Institute. The issue also introduced the CAL FIRE Urban Foresters and thanked them for all their brave work fighting wildfires around the state. A Legislative Update reviewed the extension of cap-and-trade to 2030 as well as an update to the Urban Forestry Act of 1978, which connects urban forestry to job creation, stormwater management, social equity, and climate adaptation. The newsletter also highlighted the next ReLeaf Network Reteat in May 2018.E-Communications Circulation: Over 900 Recipients. Dozens of eBlasts were sent covering a variety of topics such as: introducing urban forest grant opportunities, Arbor Week Poster and Video Contest, Arbor Week Grants, opportunities to support urban forest advocacy, and the California ReLeaf Network Retreat and the first ever ReLeaf Lobby Day in May 2018.Social Media Circulation: Over 2,600 In addition to publishing California ReLeafs periodic newsletter, California Trees, in a shorter format with an online version featuring live hyperlinks, ReLeaf is very active in using social media to share urban forestry issues of interest to community groups, government employees, and green industry professionals. Social media has been very effective in helping ReLeaf reach new community audiences, including environmental justice organizations. ReLeaf is also expanding into the use of more videos, which have become the media du jour.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Legislative Monitoring and OutreachCalifornia ReLeaf monitors State and Federal legislation for opportunities to educate and participate in public debate and policy related to urban forestry. Of particular interest is how urban forestry is being increasingly integrated into other policy and funding arenas, such as affordable housing, additional mitigation measures, and potentially climate adaptation programs. Furthermore, the steadily mounting recognition of the value of urban forest co-benefits is particularly gratifying as found, for example, in connection with Californias Cap & Trade programs. Through our website, newsletter, emails and action alerts, ReLeaf ensures that Network members and other interested community members are aware of what is happening at the state and federal level and also provides information for how local groups can make their voices heard.California ReLeaf staff continued communication with multiple environmental and social justice partners on policy priorities during the report period with specific focus on highlighting urban forestry in the annual Cap and Trade discussions. Strategic PartnershipsIn order to advance California ReLeafs mission to empower grassroots efforts and build strategic partnerships that preserve, protect, and enhance Californias urban and community forests, ReLeaf staff participated in the following strategic partnerships, collaborations, and committees:- California Urban Forestry Advisory Committee - Green California- Urban Forestrys Return on Investment: Tying Residential Nature to Health Care Expenditures -- Research Project Advisory Committee- California Climate Equity Coalition (formerly SB 535 Coalition)- Sustainable Communities 4 All- Sustainable Urban Forest Coalition (Research and Policy Sub-Committees)
