NHPGA - Horticultural Research

History of the Endowment

In 1997, the New Hampshire Plant Growers Association founded the New Hampshire Horticultural Endowment – the only grant maker in New Hampshire that awards funds to individuals engaged in ornamental horticultural research and education.

Since its inception, the NHPGA has grown the Endowment beyond its original goal of $100,000. Seven grants have been awarded since 1999 and funds continue to be raised to allow for expanded granting opportunities. The Endowment is administered by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
