Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation Grants
Sprouting School Gardens Grant
Across the country, Sprouts has been supporting thousands of school gardens and nonprofit organizations through our grant programming. To help more schools create or expand their school garden-based programs, we are pleased to announce our new Sprouting School Gardens Grants!
The grants range in size from $5,000 to $10,000 and support school garden program operations, program supplies, and educator stipends to help school gardens thrive. Organizations must be schools or 501(c)(3) nonprofits with a presence in cities and communities where Sprouts Farmers Market operates stores in order to apply.
This grant program is replacing our previous Neighborhood Grant, which since 2016 has awarded more than $4 million to 400 nonprofit organizations.

Lundberg Family Farms Sprouting Habitats Grant
Imagine if every student had the opportunity to step outside of their classroom into a wildlife wonderland right on campus. A space bustling with native plants and animals, a place designed for exploratory learning where classroom lessons are brought to life.
In honor of Earth Month, Lundberg Family Farms is teaming up with the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation to bring wildlife habitats to life on school campuses. With a shared commitment to increasing childhood connection to nature, outdoor education and creating healthier green spaces, fifteen schools across the country will be awarded $1,000 to build their school wildlife habitat.
Application deadline: May 31, 2024
The Healthy Communities Grant is designed to help nonprofit partners scale programs and serve a greater number of individuals. Grants range in size from $50,000 to $100,000, spread over two years. By offering multi-year funding, organizations can build capacity and expand their reach within the communities they serve. Organizations must first complete a full Neighborhood Grant cycle before they may be invited to apply for a Healthy Communities Grant.

They use established curricula, implementing STEM education alongside hands-on learning. Impact Partners are experts in their field, and they contribute to advancing the school gardening movement by providing research alongside large-scale programming.
