Jack Kimmel International Grant Program

INTRODUCTION

The Jack Kimmel International Grant Program provides much needed funding to arboriculture and urban forestry researchers all over the world. This grant is administered by TREE Fund, with participation from the Canadian TREE Fund in the evaluation process.

These grants are available to researchers whose work is primarily outside of the United States. Projects are expected to be completed within one to two years. Grant award amounts are limited to a maximum of $10,000 and will vary depending upon the adjudged value of the project relative to the needs of the arboriculture community. No project may receive more than one award from this program.

Note Well:  In 2022, TREE Fund’s Jack Kimmel International Grant program will be focused specifically on the three areas of emphasis listed below:

• Arboriculture: Theory and Practice  (to include pruning, fertilization, climbing, etc.)
• Tree Health
• Risk Assessment and mitigation (including all aspects of decay and structural integrity)

TREE Fund does not fund the following types of projects, and will not accept applications for such work:

• Grants to individuals;
• Projects that are primarily municipal tree surveys or assessments;
• Tree planting programs;
• Studies of individual tree species for the primary purpose of agricultural or timber/forest planting yield;
• Commercial tree- or soil-related product testing primarily for the benefit of the company that manufactures the product.

The first step to apply for this grant is to send an email containing a brief Letter of Inquiry (LOI) of no more than 100 words describing your project title and concept to treefund@treefund.org by September 15, 2022.
