How can you help?
As a volunteer managed, non-for-profit organization, the Community Garden relies primarily on fundraising and the support of sponsors. Contributing to our efforts means that we can continue to develop our space free of barriers, and offer programming and memberships at affordable rates or for free.
​
We are fortunate to have received support from our community since the beginning of our project, but we still have many sponsorship & partnership opportunities.
Funding can be used to:
-
purchase supplies, resources & tools
-
purchase garden signage
-
hire contractors to design & build spaces & structures
-
sponsor membership and program registration fees
-
hire experts to host workshops & seminars
-
fund our Access for All project to focus on making our garden more accessible to everyone
