For the 2025 Community Garden Grants cycle, Food Well Alliance seeks to deploy $110,000 in direct funding to community gardens in our five-county service area.
Community gardens can apply to both opportunities but will only receive one of the following grants:
Garden Improvement Grant: This is a $1,500 grant that helps community gardens address infrastructure, supply, and material needs to keep their gardens thriving.
Garden Forward Grant: This is a $10,000 grant aimed at helping two established, active community gardens move forward with larger projects.
New this year, Food Well has expanded the availability of labor support funding to include community gardens! These funds are intended to cover the labor costs associated with garden projects that require a specialized contractor. While this resource is available year-round, it can be combined with your grant funds to assist in project implementation. The application for this resource is SEPARATE from the 2025 Community Garden Grant application and can be found here.
If you have questions about this year’s grant opportunities, join our Q&A Webinar with Kalia Henry on November 1 at 12 pm to learn more.
The application deadline is November 15, and grants will be distributed at the beginning of 2025 ahead of the growing season.
