Applications now open for projects that extend access and expand approaches to landscape design
Application deadline: January 20, 2023
Grants ranging from 5,000–20,000 USD are available for “shovel ready” landscape-related projects and applied research. We support projects with novel approaches to landscape practice and that foster a more inclusive design community. Our grant program prioritizes projects that are:
Based in US or Canada, ready to implement and need additional funding to be built or realized, grow the community of landscape designers and makers, and are well-managed and feasible.
Please note that we have an expansive definition of design and accept proposals for projects committed to diverse and alternative land-based practices. This work ranges from landscape architecture to ecology, planning, gardening, farming, arboriculture, restoration, and conservation.
The 2022 Practice Grant Award Winners demonstrate work that cares for the land and expands practice. Their projects work in sync with landscape time—aligned with soil, air, water and plant cycles—and engage with community. Learn more about past award winners and access the 2023 application on our website.
The Practice Foundation is a nonprofit regranting organization committed to opening access and expanding approaches to the design of the living environment. It is the mission of Practice Foundation to support land-based practices rooted in diverse communities, spaces of injustice and across rural and remote regions. We believe in the value of practice itself, the measure of daily rituals and the reprise of community action. Some of the smallest, dedicated actions accumulate as powerful tools in the face of rapid climate change, loss in biodiversity, and unchecked development. To practice is to repeat, to do, to act. It encompasses action and embraces momentum.
