About the Program

At Whole Kids Foundation, we know that the more kids know and feel connected to their food, the more curious they become about how things grow or taste, and the more willing they are to try new foods. This is why we believe in edible garden learning spaces!

Our Garden Grant program provides a $3,000 monetary grant to support a new or existing edible educational garden located at either a:

• K–12 School
• 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves children in the K-12 grade range

• Be a charter or public school including tribally controlled and Bureau of Indian Education schools, non-profit private school, or a non-profit organization or tribal entity that serves children in the K-12 age range
• Engage at least 10 children on a regular basis
• Be growing edible plants in your garden
• For previous Whole Kids Foundation Garden Grant recipients:
