Together, Mrs. Meyers Clean Day and KidsGardening designed the Lots of Compassion Grant to support local leaders looking to transform vacant lots into gardens to help grow compassion in their community. We are now accepting applications for the grant program!

In 2026, 10 grantees will receive $20,000 each to transform a vacant lot into a garden. A total of $200,000 will be awarded.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day and KidsGardening share a belief that the garden has the power to do more than grow flowers and herbs; it can grow people, communities, and even kindness, too. The Lots of Compassion Grant is open until June 15, 2026.

Through partnerships with local organizations and leaders, the initiative continues to turn underused spaces into vibrant places where neighbors gather, learn and grow together.
