For Hayward Community Gardens in Hayward, California Rent-- land is owned by City, leased to electric company (PG&E), and we are allowed to use it for free Personnel-- almost all labor is volunteer, from garden and community members
Of a total annual budget of around $50K, mostly used for utilities and supplies: Community Development Block Grant (HUD, granted by City): 50% Membership Fees: 20% Farmer's Market Sales: 10% Private Foundation: 20% I'm not sure what the trend in funding is, but we are trying to figure out how to support one paid staff person. ______________________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
