The Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund supports pollinator garden projects and related learning at Minnesota K-12 schools by providing funds, guidance, connections to partnering organizations, maintenance support, materials, volunteers, and other resources. Our program provides up to a $2,000 monetary grant to schools to support a pollinator garden project.

Our grant application period is now closed for the 2024-2025 school year. We will begin seeking applications again in 2025. We encourage you to contact us to be notified when the application process opens.
