Children's Community Gardens Grants - Due Feb. 9

Cities can apply for 2024 GroMore Good Grassroots Grant of $500 and grants of $1,000 to support the creation or expansion of green spaces and gardens that serve 15 or more youth in communities across the country.

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation GroMore Good Grassroots Grant is designed to bring the life-enhancing benefits of gardens to communities across the United States.

Programs will also have the opportunity to apply for additional funding through the following specialty award categories:

• Plus Specialty Award: Designed to fund new and existing garden programs that have greater funding needs due to, but not limited to, financial, environmental, safety, health, and regulation challenges.
• Pride Specialty Award: Designed to fund new and existing garden programs that serve a majority of LGBTQ+ youth.
• Equity Specialty Award: Designed to fund new and existing garden programs led by people of color that serve a majority of youth of color.

You may spend the grant funds on gardening materials such as raised bed materials, soil, plants, seeds, compost materials, tools, fencing, greenhouse or hydro/aquaponic materials, curriculum, watering supplies, observation tools, garden decor, cooking supplies, and programming. This is not an exhaustive list but merely an example of how the funds can be used.
