1. Plant a tree
Neighborhoods or community organizations can receive 20+ trees to plant along residential streets or in public spaces as part of NeighborWoods. KIB will help you organize your planting.

• Contact: Andrew Hart, (317) 264-7555, ext. 110

2. Adopt-A-Median
This simply requires that your neighborhood association, business or organization takes the time to care for the median you adopt. In exchange, your organization name will be displayed prominently on median signage.

3. Organize a neighborhood litter cleanup
Litter can harm children, animals and the environment. Research also shows strong links between litter and crime. Organizing a neighborhood cleanup helps make Indianapolis cleaner, safer and more beautiful.

4. Make a tax-deductible donation
KIB strives to assist communities, many with scarce resources. As a nonprofit, KIB’s projects wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of committed individuals, businesses and organizations. Donations may be monetary or in-kind contributions, such as supplies of mulch, plants or other equipment.
