PNPS Grants

Part of the Pennsylvania Native Plant Society’s mission is to encourage other volunteer organizations, individuals, or groups, who believe in the benefits of planting native plants and the important part these species play in our environment.

We give small grants to groups working on projects focused on outreach, education, and research related to native plants. Categories for 2025 included student projects, native plant installation in public parks (statewide), and native plant installation in public or private spaces in Justice 40 areas. Please see below for additional detail for each category.

Student winners receive their financial award immediately after decisions are made. The other categories are reimbursed after submitting receipts, reports, and photographs of project installation.

You must be a PNPS member to submit a grant application.
2025 Grant Recipients:
PNPS received over 50 grant applications in 2025, a new record for our grant program. The PNPS Board ranked these requests based on their alignment with the PNPS mission and has awarded a total of $7,738 to seven projects across the state.
