Monthly Giving for Sweet Impact
Let’s create a world where EVERY child can play, learn, & grow outdoors.
Time outdoors helps children thrive, yet on average, kids spend less than 10 minutes a day playing outdoors. And for many children, race, identity, and family income still determine whether they have safe and regular access to nature. At ICG, we work hard to make a safe, welcoming place in nature for every child. We do that with the support of our generous giving community – people like you.
By joining The Hive, ICG’s monthly giving program, you help ensure the benefits of nature play are accessible to all, every single day. Even $6/month can help get one child out in nature.
What The Hive makes possible:
Just as bees work together, your monthly gift joins support from other Hive contributors to build sustaining impact at ICG. Here’s a short list of what your support will do!
- Ensure ICG remains a free, safe, and inspired outdoor space for all children and their families.
- Create new, innovative, hands-on programs that show children the importance of growing food, appreciating nature, and taking care of each other.
- Provide a living wage for the professionals who tend the garden and lead our education programs
- Meet emerging needs like improved furnishings in the yurt to make it as accessible and user-friendly as possible.
- Bring more beauty, resilience, and justice to our world.
Choose a monthly contribution that works for you.
Your monthly donation of $6, 12, 30, 48, 60, or any custom amount helps get more children in nature.
Your support helps to grow and maintain ICG’s 3-acre, child-centered public garden, and sustains ICG’s world-class environmental education programs!
