Grants for Farm and Garden Projects – SeedMoney
Announcing the 6th Annual SeedMoney Challenge: A Proven Funding Solution Providing Grants for Farm and Garden Projects
It’s difficult to engage in long-term planning for garden and farm programs when the short-term outlook is so unpredictable. Nevertheless, for those of you who are thinking ahead, I’m writing to let you know about the 6th Annual SeedMoney Challenge, a unique funding opportunity for public food gardens and farms that combines crowdfunding with challenge grants. Since launching the Challenge in 2015, we’ve helped 1350 farm and garden projects raise $1.1 million for their annual operations and special projects. For many of our partner gardens, participating in the Challenge is the only fundraising they have to do for the whole year.
This year, we will be offering 315 grants ranging from $100 to $600, our largest number ever. We expect 450-500 garden projects to participate. Our past grantees include school gardens, youth gardens, community gardens, community farms, food bank gardens, shelter gardens and demonstration gardens, among others. The deadline for applying is November 12, 2020, but we encourage groups to begin the process early.
