We just came across this, otherwise we would have posted sooner. The USDA Food and Nutritional Service are offering a one million dollar grant to the organization who submits the winning proposal for the People's Garden School Pilot Program. Read details below:
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is announcing the opportunity for public and not-for-profit organizations to submit applications for a Peoples Garden School Pilot Program grant competition. FNS has set aside $1 million for this pilot program.
One grantee will be selected to enter into a cooperative agreement for the purposes of developing and running community gardens at eligible high-poverty schools; teaching students involved in the gardens about agriculture production practices, diet, and nutrition; contributing produce to supplement food provided at eligible schools, student households, local food banks, or senior center nutrition programs; and conducting an evaluation of funded projects to learn more about the impacts of school gardens.
Note that the submissions are restricted to public and not-for-profit organizations, not individuals. If not for you, maybe someone you know? Knowledge is power. Click
