The Cherry Tree Endowment

As the leading nonprofit partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring and improving the National Mall, the Trust for the National Mall is committed to maintaining the Cherry Trees to the highest possible standards and to protecting and preserving these National symbols of friendship and diplomacy on the National Mall. But, we need your help.

The Trust for the National Mall has partnered with the National Cherry Blossom Festival to launch the Endow a Cherry Tree Campaign with a goal to raise over $3.5 million to provide immediate and long-term care and maintenance of the cherry trees on the National Mall.

The Endow a Cherry Tree Campaign offers donors an opportunity to support an individual tree either through a direct donation of $1,000 for each tree, starting a team to collaborate with on peer-to-peer fundraising, or creating a fundraising page to reach a goal to endow one or more trees. Interest from the Cherry Tree Endowment will provide critical funds to the National Park Service tree maintenance team for annual care and maintenance, including tree pruning, soil remediation, and select tree replacement plantings.

Donate to the Cherry Tree Endowment – at any level – or join the Endow a Cherry Tree Campaign - a great way to connect with people and work towards a shared purpose:
