The Melinda Vaughn School Pollinator Fund supports pollinator garden projects and related learning at Minnesota K-12 schools by providing funds, guidance, connections to partnering organizations, maintenance support, materials, volunteers, and other resources. Our program provides a $2,000 monetary grant to schools to support a pollinator garden project.
