Part I, Line 2:American Forests' mission is to create healthy and resilient forests from cities to wilderness, in order to deliver essential benefits to climate, people, water and wildlife. Founded in 1875, American Forests is the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the U.S., and has been a catalyst for many key national forest milestones, policies and practices, from the founding of the U.S. Forest Service and the National Forest System to public education efforts. Since 1990, we have planted more than 65 million trees in all 50 states and nearly 50 countries. These projects have restored thousands of acres of wildlife habitat, protected vital watersheds and sequestered millions of tons of carbon and greenhouse gases. The Resilient Forests program is driven by one unifying goal: to restore North America's native forest landscapes to full health and long-term resilience. The program is focused on priority threatened forest landscapes, where we are revitalizing ecosystems that are essential to people, water, wildlife and climate, from mountain ranges to watersheds. In each priority area, we employ a comprehensive approach in order to achieve lasting forest recovery. Our approach includes: developing new restoration insights through research, building partnerships with agencies, industry and scientists to integrate climate science into forest restoration; developing conservation plans to ensure success and direct resources to the most important places; and restoring forests using tried and true as well cutting edge strategies. To help implement parts of this strategy, American Forests provides grants to private and public partners in North America. Our organization does support international forest restoration projects from time to time, but they are generally funded by specific and time-limited sources of funding. Both domestic and international grants are disbursed to advance our forest restoration strategies in our priority locations. More information on our priority areas can be found on our website. Prospective partners are also encouraged to reach out to the Resilient Forests team to discuss partnership and grant opportunities. Grant decisions are based on many factors including strategic alignment, restoration outcomes, and funding availability. All prospective grantees are required to submit proposals with a description of proposed work, details of restoration experience, financial and budget details, and follow Resilient Forests communications guidelines.
Part I, line 3:All foreign expenditures are invoiced to American Forests in USD to prevent any foreign exchange gain/loss, the payables software can handle international wires to countries outside the US.

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThrough our urban forestry program, American Forests helps develop and bring to life plans and a diverse workforce for planting and caring for city trees. Our approach to urban forestry is to focus on the socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods that need trees and jobs the most. We coined the term Tree Equity as a term to describe this need and opportunity. We work to achieve this through our Tree Equity Change Model, which includes a suite of tools, free resources and expert-led initiatives that build local capacity nationwide to plan, engage and execute best practices for achieving Tree Equity. These resources include our Tree Equity Score tool to identify areas of highest socioeconomic, temperature and tree canopy priority, Tree Equity Score Analyzers that project and scenario planning tools built for and with partners in select regions, community engagement expertise, strategies to optimize climate and public health outcomes, and our Career Pathways Initiative that helps train people from lower-income neighborhoods (where there are fewer jobs and trees) and placing them directly in urban forestry jobs to close the gap between urban forestry workforce needs and qualified workers. Our Career Exploration and Development Initiative introduces youth to urban greening careers through our Tree Equity Curriculum and project-based learning. We deploy our entire Tree Equity Change Model in select deep-dive cities, like Detroit and Phoenix, as well as portions of the resources in dozens of other cities and towns nationwide. Our national movement building work includes a Communities for Tree Equity Network and a Tree Equity Workforce Network, both of which guide practitioners through structured processes to learn and deploy best practices and secure funding. We also engage in federal policy advocacy and education to increase resources for the urban and community forestry field, then help states and cities secure funding from diverse agencies. As part of our local capacity building work, American Forests provides strategic grants to local organizations or agencies in cities selected for partnerships or projects. Outcomes associated with each grant vary and can include but not be limited to volunteer event coordination, land restoration, adaptable species selection, workforce development, urban tree canopy analysis or inventory, workforce development, urban forestry master plan development, community engagement, or equipment purchase. For larger projects, a portion of funds are provided up-front with final payment delivered upon completion of the project and submission of final report. Grant decisions are based on many factors including strategic alignment, local capacity outcomes, and funding availability. All prospective grantees are required to submit proposals with a description of proposed work, budget details and timeline. Grantees agree to follow American Forests' communications, reporting and branding requirements, which include but are not limited to quality event and project implementation, before-and-after photographs, communications, community engagement, and progress reports. Prospective partners are encouraged to reach out to the urban forestry team to discuss partnership and grant opportunities.ExplanationTxt
