Featured Grant Opportunity: Whole Kids Foundation School Garden Grant

School gardens have been proven to be educational and positive for students. Giving kids the chance to learn about the science of growing food and being rewarded with healthy offerings from their hard work can go a long way with nutrition education. The Whole Kids Foundation, in partnership with FoodCorps, is offering funding opportunities through its terrific School Garden Grant Program to make this a reality for your school, or help you keep your existing garden growing.

The program is open to K-12 schools, or a non-profit working in partnership with a K-12 school, to support new or existing edible gardens on school grounds. Applications are due by October 31st, 2014. Awardees will receive a $2,000 monetary grant.
