The Manitou Springs Garden Club is offering small grants of up to $400 to local organizations and groups to enhance the environment and/or increase the sustainability and resilience of the community.

The Manitou Springs Garden Club is excited to announce our grant awards. We raise money each year through our annual plant sale. The money raised then  goes back into the community in the form of grants for sustainability and resilience.

What we look for in a grant application are specific details about how the money will be spent and whether it reflects the goals of our grant program of enhancing the environment and/or increasing the sustainability and resilience of the community. The club has been giving grants for many years now.

The Manitou Springs Garden Club has been awarding Grants since 2008.

To date, the club has given away over $21,000.00!
