In one study, gardeners doubled their vegetable intake during the peak growing season — from 2 to 4 cups a day. Hunger, health, schools, climate, neighbors who barely know each other. We tend to treat these as separate concerns with separate budgets.

A food garden quietly works on all of them at once. Rally your community. Earn a grant.

Crowdgranting pairs your own community fundraising with a SeedMoney challenge grant — so the more your supporters give, the bigger the grant you earn. Apply for a challenge grant of $100 to $1,000. No experience needed — we’ll help you get set up.

Invite your community to chip in during the fall Challenge. We give you the page, templates, and coaching. The more your community gives, the bigger the grant SeedMoney adds on top of what you raise.

Keep 100% of what you raise. No platform fees and no transaction fees. Every dollar your community gives goes straight to your garden.

” Ian Macpherson The Farm & Gardens at Odyssey · Palm Bay, FL “We raised $5,463 through the SeedMoney Challenge to keep our commercial kitchen classroom and food center running — community meals, senior farm shares, a food pantry, and local students visiting weekly to tend the gardens and cook what they grow.

” Mary Jo Parker Lake Andes Library Youth Garden · Lake Andes, SD “The $9,767 we raised through the SeedMoney Challenge funded subsistence farms for child-headed households in eSwatini, so orphaned children can grow their own food.
