Community Contributions/Grants Guidelines The Nantucket Garden Club Community Grant program is available to local non-profit organizations seeking funding for specific programs or initiating a project with seed money. The project would need to continue to be supported by the requesting organization. Each year, our club conducts the August House Tour to raise funds for community programs/projects and four scholarships for Nantucket High School graduates. This is a legacy of over 50 years that The Nantucket Garden Club has given back to the community funds to help promote horticulture, conservation, preservation and beautification of Nantucket. Our committee reviews the applications that are received by August 1. All applicants will be advised regarding acceptance or rejection by mail after September 1. If the request is accepted, grant support will be payable at the same time. We do request a brief progress report and update of the program/project by August l of the following year. There are many worthwhile requests for our Nantucket Garden Club funding, but we must select only a few each year that are in line with our mission and purpose: "The purposes of this Club shall be (a)to promote better knowledge and love of gardening, plants, flowers, and all branches of horticulture: (b)to conserve birds, wildflowers, native plants and trees and the ecological well-being of Nantucket Island, the Commonwealth of Mass. and the Nation, through direct contribution to civic, charitable and governmental institutions and funds that qualify as tax exempt: and(c to raise and expend money for public benefit contributing to the beauty of the Island."
