This program allows for up to 10 youth and family nonprofit groups (of up to 100 people) each year to enjoy Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park at no cost.
Applications for 2024 have been accepted and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for trips taking place between March 1st and September 30th. Check back next year for opportunities for 2025.
To qualify for a nonprofit grant assistance award, your youth and family nonprofit organization must serve a population of individuals whose opportunity to experience the arts has been historically limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability.
This award is not available for schools. Please see the student field trips page for information about school group scholarships.
