About community garden grants

Community garden grants support urban agriculture, food access, and conservation education in neighborhoods and underserved communities. The USDA funds this work through Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production grants and through state NRCS opportunities tied to its People's Garden and conservation programs. Nonprofits, schools, tribes, local governments, and housing authorities are common applicants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for community gardens?

Funding supports starting and sustaining community and urban gardens, food production, conservation education, and practices like high tunnels and stormwater management. The USDA offers Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production grants, and some state NRCS offices run dedicated community garden opportunities. Local foundations and city programs frequently fund neighborhood gardens as well.

Does the USDA fund community gardens?

Yes. The USDA supports community gardens through its Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production program and, in some states, through NRCS community garden grant opportunities that fund conservation practices, education, and habitat work. Eligible applicants often include nonprofits, schools, tribal governments, local governments, and public housing authorities.

Who else funds community garden projects?

Beyond the USDA, many community foundations, local governments, and corporate giving programs fund neighborhood gardens, and national nonprofits sometimes offer small garden grants and seed or supply donations. Because awards for gardens are often modest, organizations frequently combine several small grants. Local funders can be especially accessible for grassroots garden groups.
