CREEC NetworkCalifornia Regional Environmental Education CommunityGrants with 2008 DeadlinesCalifornia Fertilizer FoundationDeadline to Apply: January 15, 2008 Starting in 1999, the California Fertilizer Foundation (CFF) began contributing money to schools in California to be used in sustaining or establishing school gardens. To date, CFF has donated more than $120,000 to more than 150 California schools for school garden projects. Over the years, they have expanded their program and are now able to annually provide 24 grants for $1,200 each to schools throughout California (12 awarded twice a year). At the end of each year, winning schools can re-apply for a progress grant of $1,500 and a free agricultural field trip. Through the garden program, CFF provides direct funding to California schools for garden projects. The gardens provide an opportunity for students, teachers and parents to truly "grow" together.
