We encourage non-profit groups to apply for grants of up to $5,000. Grant guidelines and applications may be found at www.EnKaSociety.org. Questions may be e-mailed to Gifts@EnKaSociety.org.
Representatives of Wright-Locke Farm receive an En Ka Grant. The grant is giving financial assistance for the farm’s creation of Grow a Row.
