About the Brooklyn Community Garden Fund:
The Brooklyn Community Garden Fund is a partnership between Brooklyn Community Foundation and Green Guerillas, New York City’s pioneering community garden organization, to make hard-to-get funding available to Brooklyn’s GreenThumb community garden groups. The overwhelming majority of Brooklyn’s community garden groups are not 501c3 organizations who can access funding from foundations or elected officials. They must often fund activities through membership dues or small fundraisers. This fund will allow gardeners to make vital garden improvements and und
ertake important community-building activities. With more people than ever entering community gardens to seek food, education, and volunteer opportunities, this fund arrives at a very opportune time for Brooklyn’s community gardening movement.
Habitat for Humanity is known throughout the world for recruiting volunteers to build homes for low-income people. However, this model faces challenges in an urban setting like Brooklyn, where open land is scarce and expensive.
Our most recent grant cycle closed on January 31, 2011. Grant recipients will be notified of their awards in June 2011. The Foundation’s next cycle for accepting Letters of Inquiry will be January 1-31, 2013.
