Engagement Venues Utilize on-site centers and gardens (Ogden Botanical Gardens, Swaner Preserve, USU Botanical Center) and the Utah Small Business Development Center network to host workshops, STEAM and agriculture events, and sponsor outreach activities.

Funding Partnerships Align with public-sector funding streams and philanthropic support tied to USDA and university partnerships, exploring grant-ready programs and donor-funded initiatives that can attract new sponsors and collaborations.
