Grants
for School and Youth Gardens
 The
National Gardening Association works with sponsoring
companies
and organizations to provide in-kind grants
to projects that actively engage
kids
in the garden
and
improve
the quality of life for their communities.
To be eligible
for these awards
your
school or organization must plan to garden with at
least 15
kids
between the
ages
of 3
and
18. (Mantis Awards are also open to non-youth organizations.)
Please note that
all grant winners are required to complete a year-end
impact report (see individual grants for details).

the same year, so please apply
to all that are appropriate
for your program!

NGA Grants: 2006 Impact
and Benefits
Educators and youth leaders
have always provided NGA with meaningful and inspiring anecdotal
accounts of how gardening boosts kids' interest in school
and learning, improves their attitudes about eating healthful
foods and caring for the environment, helps them develop
social
skills and self-esteem, and gives them a feeling of
community spirit. NGA now captures quantitative data to back
up these moving and powerful stories.
