Foundation grants and partnerships
Four pillars of focus
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation's philanthropy is focused on four pillars: community enhancement through gardens and green spaces, youth empowerment, environmental improvement and community resilience.
National Head Start Association
The GroMoreGood Garden Grants with the National Head Start Association provide garden kits, educational resources and garden training to Head Start programs to build more edible gardens for children and families. The initiative also supports the creation of green space projects-land that is partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation-as an option for children and the community to learn.
Grant awards vary from $2,500-$5,000 and help launch new garden projects or outdoor green space projects or supplement the needs of existing garden projects. In 2026, the initiative will award a total of $50,000.
Deadline: January 30, 2026
Kids Gardening
The GroMoreGood Grassroots Grants with KidsGardening are designed to bring the life-enhancing benefits of gardens to communities across the United States. The Grassroots Grants support our commitment to GroMoreGood by bringing the life-enhancing benefits of gardens and greenspaces to children across the country.
In 2026, 120 programs will receive funding to start or expand their youth garden or greenspace. A total of $100,000 will be awarded.
