Naples Garden Club™ Grants

Thank you for your interest in the Naples Garden Club’s Grants Program.  Since 1953 we have funded initiatives that support our mission of community wide interest in horticulture, floral design and the environment. Over $1, 500,000 has been distributed to more than 50 non-profit organizations throughout the Greater Naples community.  Due to a priority commitment this year the program is on a temporary pause for 2023. Please check back periodically for updates regarding the return of the program in 2024. We look forward to working with you when the grants program resumes. If you have any questions please email grants@naplesgardenclub.org.

Donations to the grants program which help us fulfill our mission are gratefully accepted.
