Partner With Us!

The Coops and Gardens Grant is accepting applications from schools and institutions who meet the below criteria!

We are looking to partner with schools for the Coops and Gardens program that meet the following criteria:

Location

Preference will be given to schools located in low-income, food-insecure areas.

 

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY:

We are looking for schools within 20 miles of the following:

  • Lynchburg, TN

  • Bailey County, TX

  • Houston, TX

  • Scurry County, TX

  • Cushing, OK

  • Cambridge, OH

  • Mansfield, OH

  • Aurora, WV

  • Patterson, LA

  • Columbia, PA

  • O’Fallon, MO

Leadership

Two enthusiastic people from the school must be identified who are willing to serve as program leaders, at least one of whom must be a school faculty member. Program leaders are responsible for the coop and serve as the main points of contact for Chickens.org. Having two people lead will help ensure that there is no misuse of funds.

Zoning

No zoning restrictions on the school property that would prohibit the establishment of a coop and garden, or sales, if a school wishes to sell eggs or garden produce. Contact us if you are unsure of your zoning.

Support

Strong parental involvement and support for school programs.

Let us help you create a school program, tailored to your community’s needs, that you call your own!
