Institutional Giving: Beyond the Checkbook, Gifts of Time, Resources, and Expertise from Habitat Horticulture
The City of San Jose’s Parks and Recreation Department generously funded Caminar’s Family & Children Services (FCS) divisions’ Safe Summer Initiative Grant (SSIG) Program in 2021. FCS team members are delighted to partner with Habitat Horticulture this summer. Habitat Horticulture designs, builds, and maintains distinct living walls and botanic installations that transform and enrich the spaces they inhabit. The firm’s notable work appears in residential and commercial projects, public art installations, cultural landmarks, historic institutions, and workplace designs for Fortune 100 companies.
Habitat Horticulture will collaborate with the FCS and SSIG summer program called Gardening for Life. The firm will both provide an in-kind contribution of plants and teach horticulture and plant care. Program participants will enjoy cultivating a garden and gain transferrable skills. We expect strong interest from our program participants! The lessons of gardening and being responsible for other living things are likely to have a positive impact on the youth we serve.
