Through our Garden Grant program, schools and non-profit organizations turn outdoor spaces into powerful hands-on learning gardens that connect kids with food, spark their curiosity and support classroom curriculum.
At Whole Kids Foundation, we know that the more kids know and feel connected to their food, the more curious they become about how things grow or taste, and the more willing they are to try new foods. This is why we believe in edible garden learning spaces!
We were thrilled to receive so many qualified applications for our 2019 Garden Grant program! The application is now closed and we look forward to reviewing all applications.
All notifications, regardless of status, will be sent by February 15, 2019. Grant check packages will be mailed in the following months.
