The Diggers Foundation
Giving Philosophy
The foundation approaches giving by connecting commercial gardening activities with conservation outcomes, using proceeds from seed sales, plant sales, and memberships to fund heirloom seed rescue and historic garden preservation. It values environmental conservation, heritage plant preservation, and community education in gardening.
Tips for Applicants
Given the commercial origins of this foundation, applicants should demonstrate clear alignment with gardening education, heritage plant conservation, or historic garden preservation. Building a partnership approach that leverages The Diggers Club's retail network and member base may be viewed favourably.
