Is Your Collection Ready to Meet the Challenge?

2010 Applications are now being accepted

American Public Gardens Association announces the 2010 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 per year.

Grant Period: February 1 through May 21, 2010. 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 with annual operating budgets under $2 million
• North American gardens
• Must be first-time NAPCC applicant
