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.
PNPS will give small grants to groups working on projects focused on outreach, education, and research related to native plants. Categories for 2024 include student projects, native plant installation in public parks (statewide), and native plant installation in public or private spaces in Justice 40 areas. To apply for funds please click the applicable category button below to complete the application and submit it by the Application Deadline. The applications will be reviewed by a committee and the winners will be notified via email. You must be a PNPS member to submit a grant application. |
PNPS will be giving away a total of $5,000 in grant funding for 2024. Applicants are being asked to create a detailed budget for their project. PNPS expects to select at least one winner per category, however the total number of winners depends on successful applications and amount of funding being requested. Grant winners will prepare a short report of outcomes for our newsletter and presentation for our annual meeting, as well as provide before and after photographs when applicable.
Student winners and Justice 40 area winners will receive their financial award immediately after decisions are made. The other category, native plant installation statewide, will be reimbursed after submitting receipts.
