MATCHING GIFT Growing Green Solutions Program TNC established the Growing Green Solutions program to support and co-create community-driven green infrastructure, with special attention to the impact areas of community engagement, environmental justice, racial equity and community resilience in St. Louis. Now, thanks to a generous donation, all gifts of $10,000 or more to support TNC’s cities program will be matched dollar-for-dollar — doubling your impact.

“Over the past five years, Green The Church and The Nature Conservancy have worked together on multiple transformational events and projects. Our collaboration — built through a mutual commitment to thoughtful, caring, intentional partnership — has had a significant impact in diverse communities, especially in St. Louis. We are thankful to Rebecca Weaver, TNC’s Missouri cities program manager, who provided in-person site visits relevant to urban agriculture and green stormwater infrastructure. Because of this partnership, we were able to help African American churches and religious organizations in environmental justice communities start green projects.” —Rev. Dr. Ambrose F. Carroll, Founder & CEO, Green The Church
