Grants and Donations

Financial support from local companies and organizations can provide much-needed capital for specific projects, or for the Garden’s general operation. Because the Giving Garden is completely volunteer operated, all grants, donations, and monies raised directly supporting our mission. Donations and grants enabled the purchase of gardening equipment including tools, wheelbarrows, and a tractor; fencing; fertilizer and mulch; the irrigation system; the construction of a shed; seeds; and so much more. Our board welcomes the opportunity to speak with you and your team about the essential role you can play in providing nutritious produce to our shoreline neighbors facing food insecurity. The Giving Garden is a 501C3 organization, making all contributions tax-deductible.

Sponsor a Row

For $250, companies, organizations, and families are invited to “Sponsor a Row” in the garden for one full growing season. Your name and/or logo will appear at the beginning of the row and your linked logo will be added to our website for the season. Talk to us about this unique opportunity.

Garden Expertise

Many local farmers have been generous with their knowledge and support, including the Eastern Connecticut Community Garden Association (ECCGA) for providing many of our seedlings. Huntsbrook Farm (Waterford) and the Craig Floyd Giving Garden at Denison Pequot Nature Center (Mystic) continue to support our garden and we are thankful for their guidance and expertise.
