NAPCC Challenge Grant


American Public Gardens Association

Is Your Collection Ready to Meet the Challenge?
 

American Public Gardens Association announces the 2012 NAPCC Challenge Grant, awarding a limited number of $1,000 grants to successful first-time NAPCC applicants.

 

Purpose: The NAPCC Challenge Grant was established through an anonymous donation to encourage small- and mid-sized APGA member gardens to apply for participation in the North American Plant Collections Consortium. We recognize that gardens invest considerable time and effort into developing a successful collections program. This grant is intended to offset expenses of NAPCC application and review process, with any remainder going toward curation of the collection.

Grant Amount: $1,000. No matching funds required. Limit of one grant per institution, first-time NAPCC applicants only.

Grant Period: March 16, 2012 deadline has passed. New grant  round TBD.  Grant request must be submitted in conjunction with a complete NAPCC application.
Please note: funds are limited. Grants are considered on a first-come, first-served basis determined by the date on which a complete NAPCC application is received in the APGA office.

Eligibility:

  • APGA Institutional Members in good standing
  • North American gardens
  • Must be first-time NAPCC applicant
  • All types of collections are eligible
