About the company
Friends of Grand Rapids Parks is a non-profit organization registered with the federal government since January 3, 2013. The organization specializes in urban forestry, environmental restoration, and community engagement projects in the Greater Grand Rapids area of Michigan. Through federal grant awards, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks provides services related to tree planting, stormwater management, and ecosystem resilience improvement, with a particular focus on low to middle-income communities. Their work aims to enhance urban green infrastructure and address environmental disparities in underserved neighborhoods, demonstrating a consistent commitment to environmental justice and urban ecosystem enhancement.
Recently, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks received a significant $5,000,000 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727). This grant, running through December 31, 2028, will support extensive urban forestry initiatives, including the planting of over 1,500 diverse native and urban resilient trees to add 430,355 gallons of stormwater capacity annually. Additionally, the organization has been a subrecipient partner with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation on multiple federal grants. These subgrants have focused on improving water quality, mitigating urban tree canopy loss, and reducing stormwater runoff in targeted areas of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Specific projects include planting trees in communities such as Back Hills, Roosevelt Park, Burton Heights, Garfield Park, and Alger Heights. The projects aim to increase natural areas and ecosystem resilience in low and middle-income communities that typically experience fewer benefits from green infrastructure compared to other residents. Through these grants, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks has consistently worked to plant over 1,500 trees per project, significantly improving stormwater management and urban forest cover in underserved areas.
