The Whidbey Island Garden Tour is dedicated to raising funds for local causes and nonprofit organizations that focus on the improvement, restoration, education, and maintenance of Whidbey Island's common habitat. Through its activities, it supports a variety of causes aligned with these objectives.
The Whidbey Island Garden Tour Grant program operates on a yearly cycle, with the WIGT board reviewing applications in early May and awarding funding in July, following the annual tour. This grant aims to support local causes that align with the mission of enhancing and maintaining the shared habitat of Whidbey Island. Beneficiaries are expected to assist in marketing the tour by informing their organization's members and sharing information via social media and other channels.
