The Greenhouse Project's 'Growing It Forward' Carson City fundraising campaign underway
Did you know that The Greenhouse Project nonprofit in its 13 years has donated more than 22,500 pounds of produce for the food insecure through local agencies including Ron Wood, FISH, Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army and Eagle Valley Children’s Home?
Did you know TGP has two sites - Green Central behind Carson High and Foothill Garden on the Carson Tahoe Health Campus?
Did you know that by gathering sponsors for 13 years this nonprofit grows the flower baskets for our capital’s downtown?
Did you know that TGP provides financial support for both Carson High School agriculture students and Future Farmers of America?
Did you know TGP has grown a nonexistent ag program to more than 200 students with two full time teachers employed by the school district?
Did you know TGP has built the first school green waste composting site at Carson High School and native plant nursery expanding curriculum opportunities?
To this point, this grassroots organization has been entirely financed by fundraising and grants. Passive income is needed for the future of our vital programs. Broader community support is necessary.
With the help of our match donor and donations in any amount we can reach our $1 million goal ensuring The Greenhouse Project continues its mission of “Growing, Giving & Teaching for a Healthier, Greener, Sustainable Community.”
Together we can “Grow It Forward!”
