Kitchen Gardeners International

kitchen gardeners international (kgi) is a 501c3 nonprofit community of 35,000 people from 120 countries who are growing some of their own food and helping others to do the same, both near and far. our mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve greater levels of food self-reliance through the promotion of kitchen gardening. we're best known for having led the successful online campaign for a new kitchen garden at the white house. our focus since 2012 has been on increasing access to healthy foods and gardens by offering mini-grants to like-minded groups such as food banks, schools and community gardens. to date, we've awarded 440 grants reaching over 130,000 people and helping them to grow over 200 tons of food.
