Founded in 2008, NCCGP grew from statewide discussions about how to move community gardening forward across North Carolina. Since our inception, NCCGP has cultivated a network of gardeners and supporters who share support, information, and experience with new gardens and with each other.
NCCGP is an unincorporated non-profit that was created by Children, Youth, and Families At Risk (CYFAR) – A Sustainable Community Projects grant through NC A&T, where it was coordinated/managed by university employees.
We’ve lived under fiscal sponsorships from established non-profit organizations, such as NC Public Health and most recently, Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI). Currently, we function as an all-volunteer board of committed community leaders.
