Healthy Kids-Healthy Schools Grants is a resource program from the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction that aggregates funding opportunities for farm to school projects in Washington State K-12 schools, including school gardens, healthy food procurement, and nutrition education.

The program lists national grants available to Washington schools such as Newman's Own Foundation Food Justice for Kids Prize (up to $100,000 over two years for nonprofits, Tribes, and schools), the Klorane Botanical Foundation awards (15 awards of $1,200 for K-12 schools), and Captain Planet Foundation project learning garden grants.

Eligible applicants vary by specific grant opportunity but generally include public, private, and charter K-12 schools, school districts, nonprofits, and Tribal entities.

The grants on this page may be useful to get you started. These are mostly from national sources and may be highly competitive. We recommend that you start by seeking local sources of funding and in-kind support for your farm to school projects.

Several stellar Washington projects work by creatively using school budgets and partnering with community members and businesses for donations and grant support. Please note that this list is gathered as a service to help you learn what’s available, and only updated intermittently.

It is not exhaustive, and inclusion on this page should in no way be considered an endorsement by the State of Washington or the Department of Agriculture. If you know of other grant programs we should consider, please send them to us at farmtoschool@agr. wa.
