Thank you for your interest in E.ON U.S.’s Plant for the Planet grant program.

Plant for the Planet grant applications are now available to nonprofit organizations and government agencies throughout E.ON U.S.'s service territory that have a demonstrated history of successful tree-planting efforts. Applicants are required to match requested funds dollar for dollar. The application deadline is December 23rd. Grant applicants will receive a letter in February with the status of their proposal.

E.ON U.S.'s Plant for the Planet program is modeled after the United Nations Environment Program's (UNEP) Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign. The purpose of UNEP's tree-planting effort is to bring individuals, communities and businesses together to collectively plant over one billion trees worldwide each year. Similarly, E.ON U.S.'s program is designed to encourage nonprofit organizations with a record of successful tree planting to continue their efforts. The company has designated up to $75,000 each year toward this initiative.

E.ON U.S. offers one-year grants of $500 to $5000 for urban, suburban or rural projects in forests and parks, along parkways or roadways that meet program objectives. Applicants must demonstrate that mature trees resulting from their efforts will not interfere with utility lines.

Thank you again for your interest in the grant program. If you have any questions, about the Plant for the Planet Grant Program, please e-mail Katie Greene or call 502-627-3293.
