Great American Cleanup Grants

The Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup is the nation’s largest community improvement program to clean and beautify communities across the United States each spring. This year, Keep America Beautiful and its affiliates are taking the “Great” American Cleanup to the next level – making it the “Greatest”!

With a renewed focus to ‘do more’ to meet community needs, Keep America Beautiful affiliates will use this funding to: remove litter and debris from roadsides, highways, shorelines, and waterways; plant trees, flowers, and gardens; beautify community spaces through art; lead community recycling efforts; and clean and restore nature trails, recreation areas, and playgrounds.

In 2025, Keep America Beautiful is excited to offer its affiliates cash grants to ‘keep things growing’, boost efforts to support the Greatest American Cleanup, and bring communities together to do beautiful things.
