The Garden Conservancy awards Garden Futures Grants for small public gardens and other nonprofit organizations that make a significant impact in their communities through garden-based programming or the study and preservation of garden history. Through this program, we celebrate and highlight the work of innovative and diverse gardening practices throughout the United States.
Garden Futures Grants are for general operating support and typically range from $2,500-$10,000. Organizations with an annual operating budget of $1 million or less will be prioritized. Organizations must either be a 501(c)3 OR apply through a fiscal sponsor that is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to be considered.
In 2024, we awarded $152,000 to 23 organizations across the country. Part of our Garden Futures Grants program, the Page Dickey Grant for American Gardens is an endowed grant of $10,000, awarded each year to a distinguished small public garden. All grant decisions are made with the assistance of our 2024 Grant Program Advisory Committee.
The Conservancy will not award a grant to an organization more than once within a three-year period.
