The Lois Wythe Grant
The Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society offers an annual grant of up to $500 for a group, class, or individual to carry out a project in Bonner County designed to promote awareness and appreciation of native plants in our richly diverse inland temperate rainforest ecosystem. The grant was established in honor of Lois Wythe, the founder of KNPS and the Native Plant Arboretum. Grant recipients must submit a follow-up report by December 31 of the year the grant was awarded. Those receiving a grant are invited to present their project at a future KNPS meeting.
The application must be received by the KNPS Grant Committee no later than the last day in February of each year. The Grant application form can be found below. Questions may be directed to Grant Coordinator by using the form at the bottom of this page.
