KIPP Promesa Prep Kinder Garden
Verified Non-Profit
$2,259
$2,160 goal
The Description
We are a tuition-free charter school in East LA serving a community where 4% of students graduate from high school. We want to teach our students that when they collaborate, plan and execute a long-term project, their patience and hard-work pays off -- in this case, with FOOD!
With these funds we will... build an edible school garden!
- We need $2,000 to cover the building and labor costs.
We are working with a non-profit organization called EnrichLA which will provide us with all the materials and labor for the project. Together with their experienced gardeners and our volunteer parents, we will build four raised beds and two picnic tables for our space. EnrichLA will also provide us with seedlings for our first planting.

How the garden makes an impact:
- Nutritional education
We want to teach our students that they have the power to grow their own food. This project will allow students to learn about how fresh fruits and vegetables are grow from seeds to the food we see in the store; why they are an important part of our diet; and how we can create healthy eating habits.
- Building our community
As a newly developed school, we believe this project will bring us together as a community. Together we will build, maintain, and enjoy the garden, and extend its beauty to the greater Boyle Heights community in the hopes that we can build a strong community and together, we can change the world!
Back Up Plan
If we do not meet our goal, all applicable funds will still be put towards the garden.
Failure is not an option -- help us make this garden a reality for our students.
