Give a gift that grows.
The real impact of our work doesn't show up in a number. It's a student who finds her path to a career in the garden she planted in third grade. It's a kid who, after hours stuck inside, finds a place outside to breathe and settle, and starts to feel different about school. It's a family putting more fresh food on the table because of what their child brought home.
Your gift makes all of that possible, and it's tax-deductible.
Choose an amount. Point it where you want.
- Give in about a minute, no account needed
- Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App
- Receipt by email right away, tax-deductible
- Change or cancel a monthly gift anytime
- Send it to any of our five programs, or where it's needed most
My oldest son has started to ask for vegetables! It blows my mind. He's never shown an interest in eating any veggies, ever. This program has been pretty darned fantastic.A parent, Lupine Hills Elementary
Your gift is our most flexible dollar.
Most of our budget comes from grants and contracts, and that money is usually spoken for before it arrives. Gifts like yours are different. They let us plan past the next grant cycle, say yes when a new school asks, and invest in an idea before a funder is ready to. That flexibility is what makes us a steadier organization.
