PGC GRANTS
Since its founding in 1950, Perennial Garden Club has been committed to financially supporting select local nonprofit organizations whose values align with GCA initiatives. Since 2022, when we formalized our grant application process, we have given up to $2500 annually to a single project at a local nonprofit, chosen from member-submitted proposals.
WASHINGTON YOUTH GARDEN POLLINATOR GARDEN SIGNAGE
In 2022, Perennial awarded a grant to the Washington Youth Garden at the National Arboretum for signage in the Pollinator Garden. The garden serves the DC community by educating children and school groups about growing food and native plants and how planting the right plants to attract pollinators contributes to a healthy garden and a healthy ecosystem.
In 2023, Perennial funded an intern position for the C&O Canal Trust to work on reducing invasive plants in this beautiful and important National Historic Park.
POTOMAC CONSERVANCY CLEAN WATER ADVOCACY PROGRAM
In 2024, Perennial supported the ongoing efforts of the Potomac Conservancy and its Clean Water Advocacy program.
