The Garden Hill Fund: Cultivating the Common Good

The Garden Hill Fund is a program of the Mountain School Alumni Committee. Grants from the Fund support the good work of Mountain School graduates of all ages as they bring to life the mission of the school—to reach beyond the self and focus on the common good—in their own communities and the larger world.

If you would like to apply for a grant up to $10,000 for a project or endeavor, please fill out the form below.

The fall application deadline is September 15; the spring deadline is March 1. Alumni and student committees will read all applications, and students will make final selections.
