Three Ways How Donations to Project EverGreen Create Lasting Benefits for Communities Nationwide

Every vibrant park, lush green space, and thriving community garden starts with a vision – and a helping hand. Project EverGreen turns these dreams into reality by transforming underused outdoor spaces into flourishing environments that benefit us all.

Here’s how your donations help create lasting environmental, economic, and lifestyle improvements for communities across the nation.

1. Environmental Benefits

Green spaces are the lungs of our cities. Donations to Project EverGreen allow for the planting of trees, shrubs, and grass that improve air quality, reduce urban heat islands, and promote biodiversity. By transforming barren lots or existing parks into thriving green spaces, your support helps mitigate climate change and create sustainable urban ecosystems that future generations will enjoy.

2. Economic Advantages

Green spaces aren’t just beautiful—they’re an investment in the community. Studies show that well-maintained parks and landscapes increase property values, attract businesses, and reduce municipal maintenance costs. Your contribution to Project EverGreen helps fund these transformations, creating economic ripple effects that benefit entire neighborhoods.

3. Lifestyle Improvements

A greener community is a healthier, happier community. Revitalized green spaces encourage physical activity, foster community connections, and provide safe, inviting places for families to gather. Your donations empower Project EverGreen to create spaces where memories are made, minds are calmed, and people thrive.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Through projects like rebuilding parks in underserved neighborhoods or revitalizing athletic fields, Project EverGreen shows how contributions of all sizes and types can lead to big changes. Each donation of time, product or materials or money fuels the tools, plants, and labor needed to turn neglected spaces into beacons of hope and renewal.

How You Can Help

When you donate to Project EverGreen, you’re not just giving time, product or a donation – you’re planting seeds of change. Join us in creating a greener, healthier future. Every donation helps a community breathe easier, grow stronger, and live better.

Learn More About the GreenCare for Communities Initiative

Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities initiative revitalizes community green spaces. We’ve restored nearly 200 million square feet of healthy grass since 2008. That generates clean air for 320,000 people to breathe daily.

Green spaces, including parks, gardens, and healthy lawns and yards, are essential to communities for several reasons.

Improved Physical and Mental Health – Green spaces provide opportunities for physical activity, such as jogging, walking, and cycling, which can help reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other health problems. Green spaces can also have a positive impact on mental health, providing opportunities for relaxation, stress relief, and social interaction.

Increased Property Values – Green spaces can increase the value of nearby properties by providing an attractive and desirable environment. Homes that are located close to parks or other green spaces are often in high demand, leading to higher property values.

Environmental Benefits – Green spaces help to reduce air pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They also provide important habitats for wildlife and contribute to biodiversity.

Social Connection – Green spaces can bring communities together by providing opportunities for social interaction and recreation. They can also serve as venues for community events, such as festivals and concerts, which help to strengthen community ties.

Overall, green spaces play a crucial role in creating healthy, sustainable, and thriving communities.  Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities unites local businesses, community groups, volunteers and in-kind resources to create modern recreational green space
