To spread the love a little further in 2021, we will award 21 garden projects with $5,000 each this year!
Are you or someone you know involved in a non-profit, organically-grown community garden project? Make sure to apply for our Gardens for Good grant program!
Applications will be open from February 5th to March 24th 2021.
To get your application ready:
- Talk to your community garden partners about whether your project is eligible
- Snap some beautiful pictures of your community garden project
- Start drafting an application letter telling us about all the wonderful things your garden project does for your community
Applications will be open from February 5th to March 24th 2021.
Selecting the winners:
Every year we receive so many wonderful and well deserving garden applications to choose from.
To select the winners, we consider:
- The number of votes your garden receives (during the voting phase) and
- An internal application evaluation (based on our 3 criteria outlined in the rules & regulations).
Plant it Forward®
We are constantly inspired by the incredible organizations that have won our Gardens for Good grants in the past. They are making big change in their local communities, and it is a true privilege to support them and further their work.
Past Grant Recipients
Each of these remarkable organizations shares our vision to provide organic food for those who might not have access to it, and we are honored to have them as partners to make change, plant it forward®, and leave the earth better than we found it.
