Conservation Grants
Every visit to Happy Hollow helps support wildlife both locally and around the world 💚 Through the Quarters for Conservation Grant, a portion of every ticket and membership sale funds international conservation efforts, while the Progress for Pollinators Grant supports local projects that create healthy habitats for pollinators across Santa Clara County. Both grant applications are currently open and close on Sunday, March 1. These programs show how your visit helps turn community support into real conservation impact. If you know an individual or organization that should apply, please forward this email to help spread the word.
