“Over the last several years, the Nature Works Everywhere program has given grants to schools across the U.S. to build, amend or revitalize school garden projects with the core principle that gardens model nature on a relatable scale. By combining project-based learning curriculum with a school garden space, students learn conservation-mindedness.
Our support is focused on projects that involve students in developing a nature-based, green infrastructure solution to an environmental challenge in their community. Whether addressing issues surrounding access to healthy food, air quality, heat island effect, climate change or storm water collection, youth will be empowered as social innovators to model solutions in their school communities through project design and implementation… Preference is given to projects with an emphasis on building urban green infrastructure; however, food gardens will also be funded if they address a challenge around access to healthy food.”
Funder: Nature Works Everywhere presented by The Nature Conservancy
Eligibility: Urban area public or charter schools located in the United States. “A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization can apply on the behalf of a school and serve as the fiscal agent if awarded funds. Students must be involved in the project to be considered for funding.”
