The Georgia Master Gardener Association allocates monies each year to support a variety of horticultural projects in Georgia.  The number of requests awarded depends on the funds available.  Funding requests cannot exceed $500.  Organizations submitting applications must be non-profit and have no political affiliations.  A certified Master Gardener who is a member of GMGA must make the application. 

Applicants requesting a project grant must complete a written proposal that provides detailed information about the project.  If selected, the recipient must sign an agreement with GMGA as outlined in the Application below.
