Funded by: Fiskars
Description:
Fiskars, a global supplier of
consumer products for the home, garden, and outdoors, has announced that the
application process for 2012 Project Orange Thumb garden grants and makeovers
in the United States and Canada is open. Fiskars' Project Orange Thumb provides
tools, materials, and other support to help communities reach their goals for
neighborhood beautification, community collaboration, and healthy, sustainable
food sources. Fiskars will choose eleven recipients from the pool of grant
applicants. Ten will receive $5,000 in cash and tools, and one applicant will
receive a complete garden makeover. During a Project Orange Thumb garden
makeover, Fiskars works with neighbors, business leaders, volunteers, and
community partners to transform a barren lot into a beautiful, productive
community gathering space — all in a single day. Applications will be accepted
from any nonprofit organization within the U.S. or Canada. All applicants will
be considered for a grant; however, only those that specify they are interested
and meet Fiskars' criteria will be considered for the garden makeover.
