The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club (RSFGC) invites community-based, non-profit (501c3) organizations located in San Diego County to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) for grant funding. Projects requesting funding must align with the RSFGC’s mission to advance charitable horticulture and conservation efforts within the Rancho Santa Fe community and the Greater San Diego area. Grant applicants may request up to $10,000 for their proposed projects. The application form and RFP letter with submission instructions are available on the Garden Club’s website at www. rsfgardenclub. org. Applications opened on Oct. 15, 2025, and must be submitted electronically no later than Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, according to a news release. Funding eligibility is limited to neighborhood community-based organizations with documented non-profit [501(c)(3)] status that are located in San Diego County. Also eligible are K-12 public and charter schools, with no requirement to submit IRS tax-exempt status determination or certification of incorporation or bylaws. Applicants must be in good financial standing and have the organizational capabilities to receive and administer grant funds. Grant proposals must serve a community need, be technically and economically feasible, ensure that all those actively involved in the project will benefit from the results, and foster self-sufficiency. “We are thrilled to continue supporting the schools and charitable groups that are making an impact in San Diego County,” said RSFGC President Marianne Brigham in the news release. “To date, we have awarded over one million dollars in community-driven projects that advance horticulture, conservation, and education.” For questions, contact grants@rsfgardenclub. org or 858-756-1554, option 2.
