Fiskars Project Orange Thumb¶

Fiskars Project Orange Thumb Grant Program to Provide Gardening Grants to Groups across the United States and Canada

Community groups across the United States and Canada are invited to apply for the 2010 Fiskars Project Orange Thumb Grant Program.

Fiskars, a leading manufacturer of scissors and garden tools, will award grants worth up to $2,000 each in garden tools and green goods through the Orange Thumb program. In 2009, the program provided grants to twenty groups for gardening projects that supplied thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to local foodbanks, educated community members on sustainable agriculture, and provided places of beauty and rest for entire communities.

The program is open to any community group with a gardening project. Past recipients have included school and church groups, master gardener groups, and community organizations. Eligible programs include garden projects geared toward community involvement, neighborhood beautification, sustainable agriculture, and/or horticultural education.

Complete grant guidelines and applications are available on the Project Orange Thumb Web site.
