Apply by December 11, 2026


Since 1982, the Youth Garden Grant has supported school and youth educational garden projects that enhance the quality of life for youth and their communities. Today, KidsGardening is accepting applications for the 2027 grant, marking the 45th year of this flagship award that exemplifies our mission: to create opportunities for kids to play, learn, and grow through gardening.


The grant is open until December 11, 2026, and programs can apply in either English or Spanish.


Eligibility


Any organization in the United States or US Territories planning a new or improving an existing garden program that serves at least 15 youth between the ages of 0 and 18 is eligible to apply.

KidsGardening grantees from any 2025 and 2026 grant program (Waterwise Garden Grant, Youth Garden Grant, GroMoreGood Grassroots Grant, Lots of Compassion, Growing the Future Intergenerational Garden Grant) are not eligible to apply.


Organizations must:

  • Support, work with, or serve under-resourced communities (those most impacted by systemic inequities and situational hardships)

  • Have fifteen or more youth participate in the garden program.

  • Have received less than $5,000 in grants for the garden program in 2026.

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership. Learn more
