AVAILABLE FUNDS:  The SDMG Board has allocated $2500 to award for grants this year; please keep this in mind as you set your budget and make your requests.  The number of requests in the past has varied from 2-14.  The amounts dispersed over the past six years have ranged from $350 to $2500.  Total amounts requested have ranged from $1800 - $9000.  The SDMG Board has determined that Master Gardeners applying for the grants be active Extension Master Gardeners or active Extension Master Gardener Interns. This means that volunteer hours for 2017 must be submitted to the Volunteer Reporting System [VRS].  All Extension Master Gardeners are encouraged to submit their volunteer hours so the Extension Master Gardener information for Dr. Graper’s yearly report is up-to-date.
