Fundraising and Creative Partnerships Virtual Gathering – 6/11/25

We recognize that the current funding environment is rapidly changing, with reduced funding for school garden programming. Many school garden programs are finding creative ways to pivot or build mutually sustaining partnerships with similar organizations. Join the SGSO Network to connect, share your expertise, and exchange solutions amid a rapidly changing funding environment at our Virtual Gathering!

This gathering features presentations from pre-selected Network members and time for in-the-moment resource sharing and Q&A.

Presenters Include:

• Hawthorn McCracken, Farm to ECE Associate at National Farm to School Network
• Vivian Rogers, Director of Development at Life Lab, Santa Cruz, CA
• Jenna Dean, Founder at Geo Garden Club, Bellingham, WA
• Matt Suprunowicz, Executive Director at SunstainED Farms, Denver, CO
• Erica Krug, Farm to School Director at Rooted, Madison, WI.
