Whole Foods Market Foundation works to nourish people and the planet by advancing food access, nutrition, and economic opportunities in local and global communities. Founded by Whole Foods Market, the registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Austin, Texas, encompasses the work of Whole Cities, Whole Kids and Whole Planet.

In partnership with the Bee Cause Project, Whole Kids invites applications for its Bee Grants program, which provides support for educational beehives and bee programming support to schools and nonprofit organizations so students can observe bees up close and learn about pollinators’ vital role in our food system. Recipients can apply for a monetary or equipment grant to support schools in bringing live bees to their campus or grow their existing educational hive program. Recipients will receive grant options of a $1,500 monetary grant or an equipment grant for an indoor hive.

Eligible applicants include K-12 schools or nonprofit organizations serving grades K-12 in the United States and Canada.
