Madison Area Master Gardener Association
Call for Garden Grant Applications
Madison Area Master Gardener Association (MAMGA) grant applications are being accepted for gardening and horticulture projects for 2025. Applications will be accepted between
December 5, 2024, and March 1, 2025.
The purpose of these grants is to help support school garden projects and nonprofit community-based garden projects located within Dane County. The project must be sponsored by a MAMGA Master Gardener* and be affiliated with a school or a nonprofit organization. MAMGA grants may not be used to benefit individual home gardens or private businesses.
Individual grant applications may request up to $500. Grant funds may be used for seeds, plants, fertilizer, mulch, tools, information and education of students and the community, and garden infrastructure, but not for paid labor. There are a number of sources in Madison for free seeds, seedlings and other forms of assistance such as gardening supply stores and environmental organizations which may also help with project resource needs.
Grants are being announced on the MAMGA website and Facebook page, in the MAMGA newsletter, through the Department of Public Instruction, ROOTED and Community Groundworks organizations and through UW Extension Horticulture updates.
Grant application and submission information may be found on the MAMGA website at
Grant awards will be announced on or about March 15, 2025. For more information, contact Mary Collet: grants@mamgawi.org
*The MAMGA Master Gardener does not need to hold current certification but does need to be a member of the organization.
