Foundation Sponsorships

As a nonprofit organization, Expert Tree Academy relies on the generosity of sponsors and donors to carry out our mission and make a meaningful impact in the tree care industry. Contributions from individuals, companies, and partners allow us to develop and deliver high-quality training, safety education, and professional development opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach for many workers and small businesses.

Because we are mission-driven rather than profit-driven, donor support helps offset the costs of curriculum development, instructor expertise, equipment, and program delivery. This generosity enables us to keep training accessible, affordable, and relevant—while maintaining the high standards needed to improve safety, skills, and professionalism across the industry.

Every sponsorship and donation directly supports the people we serve by expanding access to education, reducing barriers to training, and strengthening the future of tree care. Simply put, the impact of Expert Tree Academy is made possible by those who believe in our mission and choose to invest in the growth, safety, and sustainability of our industry.
