Our Vision for Turf Professionals

HISTORY

 

FOUNDATION INFORMATION

 

In 1991, the New York State Turfgrass Association formed the New York Turfgrass Foundation to ensure the future of the turfgrass industry. The goal of the fund is $1 million. So far, about $890,000 has been raised from individual members, businesses, friends and corporations.

 

The foundation is an invested fund whose interest income, not principle, will be available to support the needs of turfgrass research and education. Cornell University manages the funds in a diversified mutual fund intended to yield income and maintain long-term growth.

We’re always looking for nominations for the Citation of Merit and Friend of the Green Industry, two of NYSTA’s most prestigious awards given to those who have made outstanding contributions to the New York State turfgrass industry. If you know someone who embodies all of these attributes, please send us their name, company and why you think they should be honored with the Citation of Merit Award.
