RECENT BUSINESS DONATIONS AND GRANTS
A big thank you to Mosaic Lodge #125 for their $1,000 donation for new plants and trees for the DABG grounds.
Thank you to the McDonough Foundation for their $1,000 donation to support more plants and trees. This project aims to engage, educate, and inspire through nature.
A big THANK YOU to 4imprint for their generous $500 grant! Thanks to their support, we were able to provide our volunteer team leads with new long-sleeve shirts. These shirts help keep them protected from the sun and cozy on cooler days—just one more way we can support the amazing people who make the DABG thrive!
Thank you to Sam's Club in Dubuque for its $500 donation toward our Prairie Restoration Project in Legacy Trees.
Thank you to Sam's Club for their generous $250 donation supporting our Directional & Educational Sign Project! This gift helps us improve wayfinding and expand educational signage throughout the DABG. We’re grateful for community partners who help us grow and educate!
A heartfelt thank you to Sustainable Dubuque for helping us grow a more vibrant and eco-friendlier Arboretum! Thanks to this generous support, our amazing volunteers have been hard at work adding new native plantings around the end of the prairie. These additions play a key role in strengthening habitats for vital pollinators and birds that call our gardens home. Together, we're cultivating a healthier future—one native plant at a time!
Thanks to the City of Dubuque's generous grant supporting directional Map/Educational Signage with Multilingual Audio Tours, this grant (along with the support of many other generous individuals) will fund new directional maps and educational signage throughout the grounds, including signage integrated with the STQRY app. The project will provide self-guided tours, educational content, and key information about the DABG in more than 55 languages, improving accessibility and visitor experience. Be on the lookout for this project hitting the grounds in late spring.
We are deeply grateful to the DRA for their incredibly generous grant in support of our gardens. Their commitment to investing in community treasures like ours ensures that the Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical Gardens remains a place where families, friends, and visitors can connect with nature, find peace, and create lasting memories.
Your support helps us continue to nurture this valuable asset for the Dubuque community, and we couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you, DRA, for believing in our mission and helping us grow!
