Seeds Of Change Grant

Crescent Academy, the day treatment program that my mother works for at Nazareth Children's home, is applying for a gardening grant through Seeds of Change. Check out the Seeds of Change website here.

The goal is to use the grant money to revamp the raised bed garden already in place at Nazareth, potentially even to add a greenhouse or a hoop house, and would focus on teaching the students how to grow their own food! 

How To Vote 

• Individuals can vote once every calendar day. So essentially, you could vote for Crescent Academy every day, from now till April 18th! 
• The top 50 organizations with the most votes will move onto the final judging phase, where 20 organizations will be chosen to receive the grants. 
• The grant recipients will be announced around May 3, 2016. 
• For more specifics on the grant itself, visit the grant website here.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would vote at the link below!

I am really excited about this opportunity because I believe the $10,000 or even $20,000 grant could impact the lives of the students and the community of Rockwell, NC at large.

Let me know if you have any questions, as I hope to volunteering with Crescent Academy's school garden this summer.
