Community Donations
Each year the Atherton Garden Guild raises funds to contribute to local and regional organizations that reflect its mission. Applicants are evaluated based on the following criteria:
• The applicant must provide educational or philanthropic work related to horticulture, conservation, or floral design.
• The applicant has a local presence with programs or services available to the Bay Area region.
• A contribution commensurate with our financial capacity will make a tangible impact.
Here are some of the recent recipients of AGG's Community Donations.
