Fundraising

The garden's annual operating budget of approximately $2,500 comes from dues and fees.

In 2006, volunteers raised nearly $1,000 by holding raffles during the Summer and Fall events. The generosity of local East Village businesses and members made this possible. These funds will be used to pay for programming and repairs.

The garden has also raised funds from such donors as Starbucks Foundation, the Carey Trust, and the City Parks Foundation in order to improve the programming and physical condition of the gardens.

Our sincere thanks to all donors!
