Join the Snohomish County Master Gardener Foundation!
The Master Gardener Program is a partnership between WSU and Snohomish County,
both of which provide funding and support for the Cooperative Extension, our parent organization. However, the activities of our robust volunteer program receive no state or county support. This is where the Snohomish County Master Gardener Foundation comes in. The Foundation's purpose is to support the Master Gardener Program by providing funding for our activities. As a 501(c)(3) entity, the Foundation can receive and dispense tax deductible charitable contributions as well as conducting fund-raising events and activities.
