The New England Regional Turfgrass Research Trust (NERTRT) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was created to fund turfgrass research through fund raising activities or voluntary contributions. Individuals who wish to contribute to the NERTRT are allowed to deduct either all or a portion of the amount that is contributed to the trust.
Other fund raising activities such as the live and silent auctions and the yearly solicitations of individual club contributions are all collected and managed by the trust. All types of turf management research project funding will then be done by the trust to area turfgrass research facilities in New England. Each year the NERTRT produces and distributes a research newsletter to share current information on turfgrass research that is being done within the New England Region.
The NERTRT is another tool to help support the Turfgrass Industry in the New England Region by supporting the turfgrass institutions efforts in research, education and extension and by then sharing the information as needed.
