Funding Priorities
The selection of winners is prioritized based on demonstrated need and program impact. KidsGardening considers a variety of factors when determining needs, including:
- Socioeconomic & Sociodemographic Factors
- Does the program exist within or engage a community that has systematically been denied resources, whether physical assets and money or representative leadership and community services?
- Program Funding and Support
- Does a program have access to consistent, substantial monetary support or prior grant funding? Are pre-existing resources (financial or otherwise) limited? Programs experiencing the latter are considered higher need.
- Impact
- Will grant funding dramatically expand learning opportunities for program participants? Does the intended impact reflect the actual needs of the community?
Funding Information
In early 2023, fifty organizations will be awarded $500 in funding and a collection of gardening supplies for their youth garden program.
Eligibility Criteria
Any organization in the United States or US Territories planning a new or improving an existing garden program that serves at least 15 youth between the ages of 0 and 18 is eligible to apply.
