Philanthropy

Each year Saint Paul Garden Club supports a small select group of local non-profit organizations, which are known to our members, and whose programs and projects align with SPGC’s mission statement. Funds are raised through the generosity and support of our members via our December Holiday Tea Dance, which is open to all friends and supporters of the club, and through donations made by other philanthropic individuals. If your 501(c)(3) organization, or government agency is interested in applying for a grant, please contact a SPGC member.
