Frequently Asked Questions

What does garden sponsorship include?
Garden sponsorship covers the establishment or maintenance of a garden project, including materials, tools, seeds, training for local participants, and ongoing support from Dilulu staff. Your sponsorship ensures the garden has the resources needed to thrive and fulfill its educational, nutritional, and community-building goals.
How will I know about the impact of my sponsored garden?
Garden sponsors receive quarterly updates with photos, stories, and impact metrics from their sponsored garden. You'll learn about the number of people benefiting, crops grown, educational activities conducted, and other outcomes. We also arrange virtual or in-person visits for sponsors who wish to see their garden firsthand.
Can I sponsor a garden in a specific location?
Yes, you can indicate your preferred region or country when you apply for sponsorship. While we can't guarantee availability in every location, we'll work to match your preferences with our current or planned garden sites. If you have a specific community in mind, please mention this in your application.
Is my garden sponsorship tax-deductible?
Yes, garden sponsorships are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Dilulu is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United States, and we provide tax receipts for all sponsorships. For sponsors outside the US, tax benefits may vary based on your country's regulations.
Can I visit my sponsored garden?
Absolutely! We encourage sponsors to visit their gardens when possible. These visits are meaningful for both sponsors and the local community. Our team can help arrange visits and provide translation if needed. If travel isn't possible, we can also arrange virtual tours and video calls with garden participants.
How long does a garden sponsorship last?
Standard sponsorships are for one year, but we offer multi-year options (3 or 5 years) that provide greater stability for the garden project and often include discounted rates. Many sponsors choose to renew their support annually, building a long-term relationship with their garden community.
