Seeds For Education Grant Application Now Open

  • Thursday, September 5, 2024

The Chattanooga Area Pollinator Partnership, an initiative by Tennessee Valley Wild Ones, is accepting applications for the Seeds for Education Grant.

Native plants, shrubs, and trees, some edible and sensory-packed, can enrich school and program curricula with experiential learning tools about the ecosystem. Each recipient will be partnered with a mentor who serves to support and troubleshoot throughout the year.

First installment of the grant is $750. During the second year, the recipient will have access to an additional $250 to replenish after the first season. The Lyndhurst Foundation supports this grant program.

The deadline to apply is Sunday, Sept. 15. Click here for more information.
