NOW AVAILABLE! - Applications for 2026 Community Grants

The La Porte County Master Gardener Association will again be offering a Community Grant Program in 2026. The grants will be awarded to individuals or groups to be used for materials for gardening/horticultural volunteer projects that support the La Porte County community and must further our mission to “Help Others Grow” and educate about gardening.

All requests for Community Grants must be made in writing using the 2026 Application found here or at the Purdue Extension LaPorte County Office. Individuals or groups within La Porte County are eligible to apply for a Grant.
