Naples Garden Club™ Grants

Thank you for your interest in the Naples Garden Club™.   For over sixty years NGC has held a House and Garden Tour™ to raise money to support the Club’s mission and to make a measurable impact on the greater Naples’ community.  In 2023 we will be focused on the urgency of an informed environmental stewardship of our water resources.  The Grants Program for just this year will look forward to receiving water applications focused on addressing some facet of water issues.
