Grow to Learn is partnering with ioby in the 2017-2018 school year to provide matching dollars and one-on-one crowdfunding coaching to school gardens across New York City!  

When you fundraise on ioby for your school garden, you'll access ioby training materials and be paired with a Leader Success Strategist who will help you plan and run a successful crowdfunding campaign. And if you fundraise with a Grow to Learn Matching Grant, every dollar you raise will be doubled, up to $2,000! It's a great way to leverage Grow to Learn's grant dollars, and to build a donor base in your community to help take your school garden program to the next level. 

 

Apply now 

Read the full eligibility details and apply for funding on Grow to Learn's website by October 27th, 2017. Once approved for match funding, you can begin your ioby campaign anytime. We recommend fundraising either in November/December 2017, or before spring break in 2018, but you must close out your campaign by June 1st, 2018 at absolute latest.
