Certum Solutions Awards $5,000 Grant for Environmental Sustainability to Cape Fear Botanical Garden
Summary
“As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Garden secured a discounted price of $1,488 for the Elkay Bottle Filling Station and Bubbler, so the grant of $5,000 will assist the Garden in replacing existing water bubblers in three locations, including the Classroom Corridor, Administration Wing, and Grand Hall entryway.” The essay contest is part of Certum’s focus to help businesses grow and thrive through community efforts, chamber of commerce activities, and employee volunteer activities. “Certum Solution’s Earth Day 2023 grant fits seamlessly with Cape Fear Botanical Garden’s mission to connect people to nature," said Meg Suraci, development manager. “Believing that simple first steps often lead to a greater impact, the Garden is honored to have a part in teaching our community members and guests ways to sustain the environment for future generations. Today, Cape Fear Botanical Garden, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization, continues to serve as a community resource for environmental education, stewardship, enjoyment of nature and cultural arts. Among 80 acres of pine and hardwood forest and curated plant collections, guests find a variety of experiences designed to transform their relationship with nature.
