Draft of Revised Project Proposal Form for the Elizabeth Dean Fund Committee

Summary

The City of Ann Arbor’s Elizabeth Dean Fund Committee administers income from a $2 million trust established in 1964 to repair, maintain, and replace trees on city property. This application invites residents and organizations to propose tree planting or maintenance projects that provide open and equal access and benefit the broader community. Eligible projects may address neighborhood shade, privacy, beautification, environmental stewardship, air or water quality, biodiversity, or shared community values. Priority locations include city parks, street rights-of-way, and areas near public or affordable housing, community centers, and libraries. Applicants must describe the project, location, goals, funding sources, tree-related activities, community support, and engagement with residents or city officials.
