CMGA
Grant Applications must be received 2 weeks prior to the monthly Board meeting (held the first Tuesday of the month) for consideration at that meeting.
CMGA Grants and Scholarships
CMGA provides financial support to UCONN’s Master Gardener Program, to the county coordinators who administer the Master Gardener Program classes, to members of CMGA who are Certified Master Gardeners, and to MG Interns who are involved in projects that promote horticultural knowledge. CMGA has established a Grants Committee to administer this mission. In addition to grants (below), scholarship funding is provided to the UConn MG Program, which uses the funds to provide partial scholarships for each location.
Who can apply for Grants?
Certified and Advanced Master Gardeners: Outreach projects of successful graduates of the UConn Master Gardener program who are members of the CMGA will be considered for monetary grants.
Master Gardener Interns: Requests for financial assistance towards MG Intern outreach projects must include a written statement signed by the Intern’s coordinator, verifying that the project is an approved outreach activity.
