There are some great fundraising ideas and grant suggestions floating 
around the listserv.  Thanks to everyone for your feedback and 
comments.  National Wildlife Federation maintains a fundraising list within 
the Schoolyard Habitats web site, we list national grant opportunities as 
well as regional grant opportunities that come to our attention.  It is not 
an exhaustive list, by any means, but it is a start.  Please continue to 
share new grant sources with the list and we will add it to our growing 
list of funding sources.  In the meantime, visit our site at 
www.nwf.org/habitats/schoolyard/basics/fundraising.cfm for our most updated 
list.

We have a botanical garden at our high school that is 12 years old
now.  We have received a governor's award for environmental
excellence, an award from the Native Plant Society of Texas, etc, and
are a NWF Schoolyard Habitat.  You'd think things would be going
great guns for us, but the reality is we collect and sell aluminum
cans and earn, maybe, $200 a school year.  Our program is a success
only through sheer persistence.  We are desperate for sources that
will provide something besides "seed" money - someone who helps
sustain programs that are proven.  Know of any?
