Programs
Saint Paul Garden Club provides grants and contributions to local nonprofit community organizations, qualified government agencies and other nonprofit endeavors in support of horticultural knowledge, conservation and development of public gardens.
$0 spentSaint Paul Garden Club provides club members with opportunities to stimulate the joy of gardening, promote horticultural knowledge and share the advantages of association, by means of meetings, workshops, field trips, conferences, correspondence and publications. In november 2022 the club established the "perennial growth fund" at the saint paul and minnesota foundation with initial contributions of $62,800. The fund is a non-endowed fund to support the mission of the club for the benefit of the community.
$0 spentSaint Paul Garden Club has a long history of providing time, talent and funds for rice park, a city park located in st. Paul mn. From 1927 to present we have kept rice park looking beautiful by designing, planting and maintaining the gardens. In 2014-2018 we funded a redesign and major renovation of the park and helped to raise $1.35 million from donors in the community.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $117k to $49k (−58%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of SAINT PAUL GARDEN CLUB’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $1k → $3k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SAINT PAUL GARDEN CLUB leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
54% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SAINT PAUL GARDEN CLUB.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2019 100% · 2020 69% · 2021 80% · 2022 74% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
54% of SAINT PAUL GARDEN CLUB's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $24k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

SAINT PAUL GARDEN CLUB runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 2,433 environment nonprofits its size.
