We, the Experimental College's Community Gardens, are looking for grant sources for a construction project in our gardens AND a native grasses restoration at our garden's border. Any information would be much appreciated!

RE: Grant information

I work full-time as a grantwriter. You should look into local companies in your area. Many will be able to offer you monetary contributions ranging from the small (a few hundred dollars) to the large (several thousand). And if there's opportunity for publicity out of the project, even better. Make sure to play up that aspect in the ask.

Here are a few national sources to check out for grants:

Home Depot Foundation
Sam's Club- Environment grant
Starr Foundation

Good luck!

RE: Grant information

Check with your colleges and universities on the availability of grant writing assistance. We have a place in Austin, Texas that is connected with UT, where very valuable instruction and assistance in learning how to research grants is offered. They have books with all the sources in your area- vendors, manufacturers, foundations.....the list is endless, the service is FREE!

Good luck

Janie
