Annual Giving Level – $1,000+
Members of Nashville Tree Foundation’s Tulip Poplar Donor Society are our most dedicated group of supporters and play an invaluable role in the health, growth and preservation of our city’s tree canopy. Your generous gifts provide a foundation of support that afford us the ability to work all throughout our community planting trees, preserving our collective canopy, bringing green coverage to underserved areas throughout Davidson County, and fighting to ensure that our city is focused on green-preservation policies.
Since 1986 and as a gift-based not-for-profit, Nashville Tree Foundation has relied on your support to do the daily work necessary for our city’s trees. And it’s because of your extraordinary commitment and support that we are able to forward our mission to plant, preserve and protect our city’s trees.

Why Tulip Poplars?
We’ve chosen to name our donor society after the tulip poplar for its rich symbolism and alignment with our mission and values. This tree, a local icon with deep roots in Nashville and its surrounding areas, represents growth, longevity, and natural beauty. Just as the tulip poplar grows tall and strong, the Nashville Tree Foundation Donor Society signifies our organization’s growth and the enduring impact of our donors. We’re proud to honor this local treasure and its role in our community, emphasizing our commitment to environmental stewardship and the lasting legacy our donors create for future generations.
The Nashville Tree Foundation strives to plant trees, including tulip poplars, with lifespans of 100 years or more. Every dollar you donate contributes to the expansion of our tree canopy—an asset we all share and benefit from.
