Green Spaces Alliance
Community Garden Funding
Community Garden Program Overview
Green Spaces Alliance encourages the development of community gardens throughout San Antonio. The keystone of
our program is sustainability, facilitating gardens that will benefit neighbors and neighborhoods for years to come.
The Green Spaces Alliance Community Gardens Program began in 2006. Already, nearly 50 gardens have been
supported by Green Spaces and many more gardens have sprouted in and around San Antonio.
Green Spaces Alliance hopes to assist five to eight new groups this year in organizing, planning, developing, and
maintaining a neighborhood garden. Your project could be one of them. This award jump-starts garden efforts with
guidance, resources, and some funding.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis from January through October. Applications received after October 31
may be considered for next year’s funding, if available. Early application is recommended as funding is limited.
Selected groups may be funded with up to $6,000 for eligible costs to construct and install the garden. All funds
awarded will only be disbursed in accordance with the approved budget and agreed upon reimbursement procedures.
Applicants not selected initially may update and resubmit their applications in subsequent seasons.
Eligibility:

apply for garden funding when they have:
