Whole Kids Foundation invites applications for Garden Grant program

The Whole Kids Foundation aims to enhance children’s wellness by improving access to nutritious foods, supporting healthy food education, and building professional development to sustain those changes.

The foundation invites applications for its Garden Grant Program, which aims to help more kids know and feel connected to their food. Schools and nonprofit organizations will be awarded grants of $3,500 to turn outdoor spaces into hands-on learning gardens that connect kids with food, spark their curiosity, and support classroom curriculum. The program supports new and existing edible educational gardens located at K-12 schools in the U.S. and Canada.

Applicants must be a charter or public school including tribally controlled and Bureau of Indian Education schools or a nonprofit private school, must engage at least 10 children regularly, and be growing edible plants in the garden.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Whole Kids Foundation website.
