Give a Gift

Make a contribution for you or a loved one to support Greenmarkets, hands-on education, recycling, farming, food, gardens, and more. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways to give.

 

In-Kind

GrowNYC welcomes donations of products or services that help us allocate more funds toward our mission to create a healthier, more sustainable NYC. We often need: outdoor kitchen equipment, printing and mail services, photography, and outdoor gear for our staff working in community gardens and out at Greenmarket.
