Scholarships Help our Graduates Pursue Their Dream
The Garden Club of Coral Springs Scholarship Endowment Fund was established in 2006 to provide a way for donors to make tax deductible gifts and also allow GCCS to create and maintain a sizable scholarship fund. The Garden Club of Coral Springs, Inc. is a non-profit organization/charity, operating under rules specified in Section 501C (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Donors find the Garden Club of Coral Springs, Inc. an attractive beneficiary in their estate planning. Funds solicited from members, friends and corporations, as well as gifts of cash, stocks, antiques, trusts and insurance are welcomed. As our fund increases, we will offer additional scholarships. Each year our Garden Club holds a fundraiser, Gardenfest Coral Springs, to benefit this scholarship fund and to support our organization and its many educational, environmental and horticultural activities. Donations are gratefully accepted throughout the year.
