Transparency

KidsGardening is open with our financial documents and our history as a national nonprofit organization.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, KidsGardening is committed to responsible use of donor dollars to further our mission to get all kids learning through the garden. We strive to keep our overhead low. As a small organization, we are proud of the outsized impact we are able to have.

Our History

Founded as a program of the National Gardening Association in 1982, KidsGardening became an independent nonprofit in 2016. As a result, we have the flexibility and culture of a start-up with 45 years experience growing the youth garden movement.
