Whole Kids Foundation invites applications for beehives and bee programming

The Whole Kids Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) founded by Whole Foods Market, is dedicated to helping kids eat better and works to support schools and inspire families to improve children’s nutrition and wellness.

To that end, in partnership with the Bee Cause Project, the foundation invites applications for its Bee Grants program. The program 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.

The foundation will host a webinar to discuss the grant opportunity on September 21, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. PT.

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

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, and to register for the application webinars, see the Whole Kids Foundation website.

Deadline: October 15, 2023
