Volunteer Sponsorship Opportunities
Your sponsorship grows more than gardens. It helps Chicago families plant seeds, harvest fresh produce, and gain tools to care for their own food needs. Chicago Grows Food partners with schools, families, and communities to break down barriers to gardening, ensuring everyone can access supplies to growing food that transform learning into a hands-on experience.By providing every student with a Grow Kit we are helping them build practical skills, deepen their connection to nature, and develop healthier habits, while at the same time they gain confidence and resilience as they watch their efforts come to life. These shared experiences strengthen community bonds, empowering young people to challenge themselves and cultivate a lifelong sense of responsibility and possibility.By sponsoring, you support:Gardening kits for food-insecure householdsHands-on workshops that teach growing and cooking with fresh foodCommunity gardens that connect neighbors across Chicago 🌱Choose a sponsorship level that fits your budget and help Chicago Grows Food expand food security, one garden at a time.$1,000 Level Sponsors ReceiveGroup Volunteer Days During the Growing Season, March - October (max of 10 volunteers per event)Acknowledgment on Chicago Grows Food’s Website, Socials, Newsletter, and logo included on kits distributed to the classroomOrganization recognized in Education Booklet that gets distributed to 10,000 peopleOptional gardening day for team building (up to 10 people)$2,000 Level Sponsors ReceiveGroup Volunteer Days During the Growing Season, March - October (max of 10 volunteers per event)Off site volunteer opportunity availableAcknowledgment on Chicago Grows Food’s Website, Socials, Newsletter, and logo included on kits distributed to schoolFirst access for organization events (up to 10 people)Optional gardening day for team building (up to 20 people)Opportunity to include promotional materials in Education Booklet that gets distributed to 10,000 peopleCorporate Lunch + Learns to Discuss the Impacts of Food Inequity in Chicago and How You Can Make a Difference (virtual option available) $5,000 Level Sponsors ReceiveGroup Volunteer Days During the Growing Season, March - October (max of 25 volunteers per event)Acknowledgment on Chicago Grows Food’s Website, Socials, Newsletter, and logo included on kits distributed to the gradeFirst access for organization events (up to 5 people)Organization recognized in Education Booklet that gets distributed to 10,000 peopleOptional gardening day for team building (up to 20 people)We can work with your company to create an integrated sponsorship package that is aligned with our mission and tailored to your marketing, sales and promotional objectives.
