Review for Friends of Trees, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Friends of Trees is an amazingly great organization - as a 3rd generation Oregonian, I really appreciate their mission and their passion for grass roots community involvement.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

hundreds if not thousands of new trees being planted in the neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Make it more sustainable by having less waste and more reusable / sustainable trucks etc.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Everyone has great passion for bettering our community and planting more lovely trees.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Organized and passionate

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Pay their volunteers to increase their ability to perform and pay their bills.

Ways to make it better...

Can't think of anything here - maybe a little more recognition for food service volunteers.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

That the core work is done by volunteers that are not adequately compensated for repeat and stellar performances.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I love Friends of Trees!!!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009
