MrBeast: Fundraiser #TeamTrees
The project was spurred on by comments on Reddit and Twitter that Donaldson should celebrate reaching 20 million YouTube subscribers by planting 20 million trees. Donaldson also stated in his announcement that he would like to use the project to pay for any environmental pollution caused by him from previous projects.
On October 25, 2019, Donaldson started a
global fundraising campaign under the name "#Teamtrees" in
cooperation with ex- NASA engineer Mark Rober. The goal was to
raise US $ 20 million in donations for the Arbor Day Foundation by
2020. The money was to flow directly into the project, as the organization
agreed to plant a total of 20 million trees by 2022 at a rate of one tree for
one US dollar.
The project was supported by YouTube personalities such as PewDiePie, Marques Brownlee, SmarterEveryDay, Ijustine, and many more. As a result, the project received greater media attention and a wide reach. The project was also well received beyond YouTube, with $ 5 million donated after just 48 hours.
In addition to donations from the community, the project also received donations of larger sums between 50,000 and 1 million US dollars from celebrities and entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, Tobias Lütke, and Susan Wojcicki. Ukraine has donated money to the project. The YouTube platform, which is essential for the dissemination and success of the project, also made a significant financial contribution, including by waiving fees for donations made to the project via YouTube.
On December 19, 2019, the
campaign reached its target of $ 20 million, 12 days before the call for funds
ended. Nine days later, MrBeast announced in a video that he might turn
TeamTrees into an annual fundraiser.
