The Grassroots Open Space Program FY24 Funding RFP is offering capital funding for the development and improvement of community based gardens, urban farms, and other open spaces.
GrowBoston anticipates making awards of up to $150,000 to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations for projects which increase access for low- and moderate-income residents to local food growing opportunities and green space through capital improvements to community gardens and other open spaces which directly serve neighborhood residents.
GrowBoston will host two virtual applicant conferences to answer any questions you may have about this RFP. Potential RFP applicants are strongly encouraged to attend one of the virtual meetings. Both meetings will contain the same content.
If you are unable to attend an applicant conference, formal questions may be submitted by email to Theresa Strachila, Program Manager, at theresa.strachila@boston.gov.
Responses to questions received during the applicant conferences and via email will be distributed to all parties who have downloaded the RFP.
