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 will give small grants to groups working on projects focused on outreach, education, and research related to native plants. New for 2023, we are accepting proposals for the following categories: student project and native plant installation. In addition to financial support, PNPS will assist with obtaining native species for the project. 
You must be a PNPS member to submit a grant application.
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.

Except for the student winner, grant recipients will be reimbursed after submitting receipts. If applicants are in need of financial assistance prior to project completion, a cash-advance can be requested and negotiated on a case by case basis.

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.
