Team Trees
On October 25, 2019, Donaldson and former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober organized a collaborative fundraising challenge event on YouTube called #TeamTrees. The goal of this project was to raise $20 million for the Arbor Day Foundation by January 1, 2020, and plant trees "no later than December 2022." Every donation goes to the Arbor Day Foundation, which pledges to plant one tree for every dollar donated. Notable YouTubers such as Rhett & Link, Marshmello, iJustine, Marques Brownlee, The Slow Mo Guys, Ninja, Simone Giertz, Jacksepticeye, and Smarter Every Day brought attention to this idea. Trees began to be planted in October 2019 in national parks of the United States.[61][62][better source needed] On December 19 of that year, the $20,000,000 goal was surpassed,[63] . So far Team Trees planted 9 million trees across the globe and are expected to finish in 2022. The project has also received large donations from corporate executives Jack Dorsey, Susan Wojcicki, Elon Musk,[64] and Tobias Lütke.[65][better source needed] Companies such as Discovery, Verizon and Plants vs. Zombies have also pitched in to help.[66][failed verification]
As of December 12, 2021, they have received over 23.5 million dollars which equals to 23.5 million trees planted. Currently they need to plant 14.5 million trees to achieve this number. [67]
