Our Supporters
Thank you to our supporters who give Polly the essential nutrients to grow our programs for people, flower farmers, nonprofits, communities, and you. A five-way win that we call The Polly Pentafecta.
2025
A big thank you to Vancouver’s Downtown Association for their $17,000 sponsorship grant that went straight to local flower farmers who grew 10,000 fresh flowers and plants for Vancouver’s float in The Rose Festival’s Grand Floral Parade. This was the ultimate community experience for both volunteers and thousands of spectators to enjoy. The more floats the better for our friends at The Rose Festival Foundation, also a 501(c)(3), and their long-standing tradition of celebrating the city’s floral heritage and community since 1907. Our collaborative effort secured The Royal Rosaarian Award! See it here.
A big thank you to Menashe Properties for their priceless in-kind donation of 30,000 square feet of warehouse space, which made our two-week Grand Floral Parade production possible. This generous gift enabled our community to create the float and host a memorable viewing launch party on parade eve. We all shared long summer days and magical moments in what felt like the castle of warehouses. Since then, Menashe Properties has granted long-term storage space for Vancouver’s Rose Parade chassis and once again donated the warehouse for Polly to host our first annual wreath workshop fundraiser in November.
In 2025, we supported nonprofits and schools with $14,900 in donated flowers for fundraisers, workshops, and community-focused programs (not including the time and resources dedicated to creating The Grand Floral Parade float). We thank the following supporters for helping Polly programs grow.

2026
This year, we’re overjoyed to expand our community programs, rose-scented geranium garden, and workspace for complimentary workshops and flower sale fundraisers to help create brighter futures for people facing hardship and our partner nonprofits. We’re moving mountains (likely covered in lupine, foxglove, and trillium), and want to thank the following supporters for helping us grow.

Cindy and Duncan Campbell of The Campbell Foundation $2,500
A big thank you to Menashe Properties for providing Polly with a lovely 1,080-square-foot workspace within Montgomery Park (right next door to Fieldwork Flowers and Roseline Coffee). This generous gift will empower us to expand our complimentary workshops, and grow the Polly team to support production, flower sale fundraisers, and community-focused programs.
