Hi Dr. Lodessa,
All of the grants, contests, and other opportunities listed in the Kids Garden Community (either in the
Funding Library or via discussion posts) are shared from various organizations and each one has different eligibility requirements. If you're using the Funding Library, you can use the 'Organization Type' filter to narrow down the results to ones that might be available to you. I know that an official 501(c)(3) classification is required for some grants where you have to show proof of that status so it's definitely a good thing to have.
KidsGardening will be announcing it's annual Youth Garden Grant in October which you might be eligible to apply for. Just mentioning that here since it's not listed in the Kids Garden Community yet. I would also suggest checking out the SeedMoney Challenge Grants listed in the Funding Library. Does anyone else know of grants not yet listed?
Dr. Lodessa, we'd love to know more about your youth garden if you'd like to share a little more about it!
