North America's largest independent organic breakfast and snack food brand, today announced the grant recipients for its 16th annual Gardens for Good: Plant It Forward™ Program. Now in its 16th year, the program supports organic community gardens and urban farming initiatives working to increase access to fresh organic food, strengthen local food systems and empower communities across North America.
Through the 2026 program, Nature's Path will award a total of $45,000 to 15 grassroots organizations, with each garden receiving a $3,000 grant. This year's recipients include 10 non-profit organizations in the United States and 5 in Canada, all selected for their commitment to organic agriculture, community-led leadership, food access and education.
Since launching the initiative in 2010, Nature's Path has awarded more than $1 million to nearly 150 organic community gardens across North America. The program reflects the company's long-standing commitment to nourishing people and the planet by supporting locally rooted projects that practice organic agriculture, community-led leadership and work in addressing food insecurity within underrepresented and underserved populations.
"Real change begins from the ground up when communities are empowered to grow their own food," said Jyoti Stephens, Vice President of Mission and Strategy at Nature's Path. "The 2026 Gardens for Good winners represent the true spirit of grassroots resilience – turning local soil into centers of health, connection and long-term food security. We are honored to champion these 15 extraordinary organizations as they nourish both their soil and their neighbors."
