Description:
Since 1982, the Youth Garden Grant has supported school and youth educational garden projects that enhance the quality of life for students and their communities. The 2022 Youth Garden Grant is sponsored by KidsGardening’s generous donor base and our Sunshine and Seed Money sponsors. A total of 50 programs will be awarded Youth Garden Grants in 2022.
We prioritize the following when selecting winners:
- Economic & Demographic Factors: Does the program exist within or engage an under-resourced community? Is program leadership representative of youth participating in the program?
- Program Funding and Support: Does a program have limited access to resources and/or consistent monetary support, including recent grant funding?
- Impact: Will grant funding expand learning opportunities for program participants? Does the intended impact of the program reflect the needs of the community?
Winners will be announced and contacted by email on Friday, January 28, 2022. A list of winners will also be posted on KidsGardening.org on that date. Awards will be distributed in February 2022.
Eligible applicants:
Non-Profit, PreK-12 Educational Agency, Town, City or County Government
Previous Youth Garden Grant winners are not eligible. Programs that have previously been awarded other grants from KidsGardening are welcome to apply and are eligible to be selected. That being said, given the high number of applications received (750-850 each grant cycle), it is unlikely you will be awarded multiple KidsGardening grants in a single calendar year or in back to back years.
