Program areas at Big Green
The Big Green DAO is a community of nonprofit organizations facilitated by Big Green and selected by peer evaluators based on their current and potential impact. The DAO provides these organizations with funding, capacity building, shared services, and a thriving community of collaborators who understand their work.
Our home garden program, Million Gardens, makes home gardening accessible to growers at any skill level. In partnership with community organizations, we send raised bed gardens and grow bags directly to people's homes.
Our school-based program, Jumpstart, provides schools and other educational spaces with modular garden beds and mini-grants to kick off or reinvigorate their garden programs. The gardens are incorporated into the school day and positioned to help schools meet their goals in experiental learning, STEM, health and nutrition, social-emotional wellbeing, and more.
