Garden Futures Grants
The Garden Conservancy’s Garden Futures Grant Program (previously known as Gardens for Good) is an initiative through which the Conservancy awards grants—typically ranging from $5,000 to $10,000—to small public gardens and other nonprofit organizations making a significant impact in their communities through garden-based programming. Through this program, we celebrate and highlight the work of innovative and diverse gardening practices throughout the United States.
In 2022 the Garden Conservancy was pleased to award grants to the following organizations, selected by our 2022 Grant Program Advisory Committee. We are delighted to support these organizations’ valuable work in their communities across the country.
