Community Garden Grant Opportunities  Fiskars: Project Orange Thumb Fiskars’ Project Orange Thumb is a grant program that supports 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States, or Canadian organizations that are registered charities under the Canada Revenue Agency, in building community gardens. Fiskars will award ten organizations $5,000 in tools and money to support their gardening goals. One additional award will be given for a complete garden makeover.  The Home Depot Community Impact Grants The Home Depot Community Impact Grants are available for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, public schools, or tax-exempt public services agencies in the United States. Grants of up to $5,000 are given in the form of Home Depot gift cards, which can be used for purchasing tools, materials, or services. The Home Depot’s local stores also have limited supplies of $25 donation coupons to aid local organizations with smaller donation needs. It wouldn’t hurt to check with your local store to see if one of these coupons can be provided, as every little bit counts, and when gardening, $25 can provide a lot of seeds! 28
