DID YOU KNOW?
The Tulsa Master Gardener Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization. As such, it receives no city, state or federal funding for its Tulsa community outreach programs. In fact, the majority of Tulsa's Master Gardener programs are self-funded by its members. We need your help..
Tulsa Master Gardener's own fundraisers make up most of the income to cover expenses. More specifically, a significant portion comes from the Tulsa Master Gardener Annual Spring Plant Sale that is held each April. Other fundraisers include the Garden Tour (June) and "Garage Sales" that occur from time to time. Finally, one of the most important income sources that sometimes gets overlooked are the personal and corporate donations. These are so important in helping to meet our financial obligations and we want you to know they are very much appreciated.
Donations for this month include:
General Fund
LawnAmerica, LLC
Dewayne Reeves
Mark & Mary Sharp
Diane Hambric
Susan Austin
Priscilla Langenderfer
Senior Living Program
Tulsa Nursing Center
Speakers Bureau
Tulsa Metro Retired Educators
Spring Plant Sale
Josie Driskill
