CFF School Garden Grants
Every year the CFF will award up to 24 garden grants of $1,200 each.
The California Fertilizer Foundation’s (CFF) School Garden Program strives to increase the understanding and awareness of agriculture and plant nutrition in California’s youth through school gardens. In doing so, classroom curriculum can be enhanced with first-hand experiences.
Applications will be accepted at any time, and reviewed twice a year. March 30th and June 30th.
The application is not intended to be cumbersome; rather, it is your opportunity to provide insight into the garden projects you wish to develop and your dedication to the sustainability of the programs. Please include, photographs and a description of how your garden project is or will be implemented in the classroom are required. Information on how you plan to teach about plant growth and plant health utilizing nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers will strengthen your application.
University Student Dinners
The CFF hosts “Ag Student Industry Dinners” at college campuses to promote career opportunities for students in the future. Representatives from different Ag industries come, sit with the students, answer questions, and encourage them about the opportunities in the Ag industry.
The event allows member company representatives to mix with students seeking careers in agricultural businesses, including future PCAs, CCAs, researchers, and marketing experts.
