PLEASE go to NGC.ORG and read and sign in to the welcome page to register your club for the Red, White, Blue planting grant. This did not appear in Nov, but is backdated to the actual approval date so you do have to hurry a bit to apply by FEB 17TH.
In essence grants are available for up to $1000.00, with 75% allowed up front in March and 25% after proof of work is sent in. Projects have a sort of national judging committee. If your project request only 200 for annual flowers for one site that is fine. It doesn’t have to be a huge project.
You must register your club on the webpage, then provide your application by filling in the details. Then you submit. There is a section that will tell you when your project is evaluated and then approved. If you need help completing this please call me, 406-781-7615 Jeannie.
