Grants

The New Orleans Town Gardeners support a variety of programs in the New Orleans area that enhance the mission of The Garden Club of America:

“…to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening, to share the advantages of the association by means of educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications, and to restore, improve, and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.”

Apply for a Grant

We look forward to considering grant applications for our 2025 grant cycle. All applications and attachments must be submitted to carmenlduncan9@gmail.com and notgclub@gmail.com by Friday, December 13, 2024.

Grant requests are reviewed by the NOTG Project Processing Committee, and you may receive a call for more information about your proposal.  Priority is given to funding for specific projects incorporating well-defined objectives and timetables and promising public benefits. Grant decisions are made in the spring and funds will be distributed in the summer.  Please be mindful of this timeline as you think about your proposed project.

We welcome opportunities for hands on participation in local projects that are aligned with our mission. If there is potential for volunteer engagement with your project, please be sure to describe this in your proposal. Finally, all grantees will be asked to provide reports on their progress so we can celebrate success together or help navigate obstacles along the way.  Likewise, a failure to provide reports following receipt of a grant in a previous year will jeopardize our willingness for continued investment in future proposal applications that may be submitted.

Thank you for your passion and energy, and for your work to benefit people and places in the New Orleans area.
