Abstract: Ta’awun is mutual cooperation among members who share common objectives and outcomes. Ta’awun has an influence in sustaining project management and funding of community projects. Financial literacy of ta’awun approach in funding and project management is practical for community vegetable gardens. This study obtained the views of the five groups who were involved in community vegetable garden projects through conversational interview with note-taking about the influence of ta’awun in funding and project management of community vegetables garden projects. The qualitative conversational interview follows the convention of interview procedures and protocols with adherence to research ethics. The study uses thematic analysis on the results of the interviews. The informants argued that the foundation for ta’awun is solidarity among members through financial literacy in the funding and project management for community projects. The influence of ta’awun (mutual cooperation) in this study is driven by the preferences and structure of the groups. Most of the groups are driven by structured-based ta’awun instead of its uniqueness. Structural ta’awun develops gradually. Despite this, the uniqueness-based ta’awun could be incorporated gradually or intensively in sustaining community vegetable gardens through financial literacy for project management and funding. Future research may want to adopt qualitative case study method involving several communities with vegetable garden projects to deeply explore the influence of ta’awun in financial literacy of project management and funding.
