Happy 2022 everyone!
Are you looking to start or enhance your garden or greenspace? The GroMoreGood Grassroots Grant, brought to you by The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation and KidsGardening, is designed to bring the life-enhancing benefits of gardens to communities across the United States.
The GroMoreGood Grassroots Grant opened last week and will award 150 programs $500 - $1,500 in funding. This year, programs will have the opportunity to apply for additional funding through the following specialty award categories:
Plus Specialty Award: For new and existing garden programs that have greater funding needs due to, but are not limited to, financial, environmental, safety, health, and regulation challenges. The award will provide 5 programs $1,000 in 2022 in addition to the $500 base award.
Pride Specialty Award: For new and existing garden programs that serve a majority of LGBTQ+ youth. The award will provide 5 programs $1,000 in 2022 in addition to the $500 base award.
Equity Specialty Award: For new and existing garden programs led by people of color that serve a majority of youth of color. The award will provide 5 programs $1,000 in 2022 in addition to the $500 base award.
