support the work of these associations, as well as other allied and
community organizations. To date, GROWS has awarded more than
$500,000 in grants to the New England state Cooperative Extension
Systems. Recently, GROWS grants have helped to fund regional research
projects such as using beneficials, pollinator health, and wildflower
meadow establishment. Grants have also been used by Extension for
industry education and outreach, to help recruit students to our profession,
and the development of field diagnostic test kits. Funds from the confer-
ence also support related community-based programs, such as the
Boston Schoolyard Initiative and the student-centric FFA organization.
