The Dave Matthews Band Summer 2024 Tour has committed to help plant one million MORE trees with The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees program, a global forest restoration effort.

The Dave Matthews Band’s Bama Works Fund is handing out nearly $775,000 to nonprofit groups all around Charlottesville.

The Community Climate Collaborative (C3) is one of 106 nonprofits receiving funding from the initiative.

“We’re very fortunate to have somebody so influential, but also so heavily invested in making sure our community has the resources it needs to be thriving,” said Maggie Davis with C3. “Their grant goes towards our climate action activity kits that we send out to the local fourth and fifth graders.”

The Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) is helping to distribute the funding.

In October 2015, Daniel Germain enrolled in the Excelsior Technical Institute, or ETI. The trade school had just opened and was one of the newest initiatives for FLM Haiti, a nonprofit that provides education and health care services in Haiti. After two years of training in plumbing and electricity, Germain, finished in 2017, part of ETI’s first graduating class. With his new skills, he was able to forge a new beginning, finding a steady job in construction. A job that provided for him and his family.
