Grant Awards!
Home Earth Alliance is thrilled to announce we are the recipient of two recent grants:
Albany County Legislature Nonprofit Grant
Albany Soil and Water Conservation District's Nonprofit Assistance Funding
Albany County Legislature Nonprofit Grant
Funds from this award will be used to scale production at our IMAGINE Native Plant Farm. IMAGINE Native Plant Farm, located in Glenmont, NY, is dedicated to producing ethically grown straight native plants from and for the greater Capital Region for home, community, and public projects.
Albany Soil and Water Conservation District's Nonprofit Assistance Funding
Funding will enable Home Earth Alliance to launch our IMAGINE Native Community Gardens in partnership with one area elementary school and three nonprofit organizations. Home Earth Alliance will provide consulting and support, a custom native garden design, native plants from our IMAGINE Native Plant Farm based in Glenmont, NY, and educational signage. Partnering organizations will provide space and volunteer support.
For information about how your Albany County organization might partner with the IMAGINE Native Community Gardens program, please contact Pam Skripak at info@homeearthalliance.org.
We are excited to embark on this important work - growing a healthier community one inch, one foot, one yard at a time!
