We are a members of a very small community in the northern part of NH. A little town called Colebrook. Three years ago we organized a small group of gardeners and developed ground for a Community garden. We have only needed small grants to pay for ground prep, and natural fertilizers. We need only about $800.00 for the year, Everything else is volunteer gifts. Our only grants so far have been granted by NEGEF Montpelier Vt. We need to find a new funder and your name was given to us. Could we apply? If so, give me the instructions needed and I will make a grant and send our budget figures. Thank you so much, Respectfully, Mrs. Bean PO Box 189 Colebrook, NH 03576. vbeanibean@netzero.net Thank you
