Funding for Public Food Gardens
Funding for Public Food Gardens: Deadline Nov 12
This year, SeedMoney is offering 255 garden grants totaling $40,000 to diverse food garden projects through a 30-day crowdfunding challenge running from Nov 15 to Dec 15.
Our grants are open to all types of public food garden project (youth gardens, community gardens, food bank gardens, etc.) regardless of their location.
The funding for public food gardens we offer (grants) are on a sliding scale and range from $50 to $700. The size of a grant a project can receive depends on how much it is able to raise over the 30-day period compared to other projects participating in the challenge. See the graphic below for more info.
Participating projects set up crowdfunding pages for themselves using our custom-built software and use our challenge grants to motivate donors from within their communities to give. Over the past 4 years, we’ve helped 1100 garden projects raise nearly $900,000 which means that the average project raises roughly $800 with many projects raising $2000 or more. We’re offering 255 grants this year on a sliding scale ($50-$700) to accommodate a wide range of projects, big and small.
SeedMoney is the new name for what was formerly called Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI), a nonprofit founded in 2003. Over the past three years, our emphasis has gradually shifted from helping home gardeners towards offering financial and technical support to a wide variety of public food garden projects.These include community gardens, school gardens, food bank gardens, homeless shelter gardens and senior gardens, to name just a few.
