Submissions due August 26, 2026
This is a last call reminder to submit your solution for ACL’s Cultivating Connected Communities Prize Challenge.
Sustainable community gardens can improve health, reduce isolation, and increase access to fresh food, but many remain inaccessible to people with disabilities and older adults, particularly in rural, frontier, and Tribal areas. Phase 1 is your opportunity to submit an accessibility change plan that addresses these barriers.
Phase 1 winners may receive up to $4,000 each, with the opportunity to advance to Phase 2 for up to $8,000 each in additional awards.
Don’t miss your chance to bring your idea to life and make a meaningful impact in your community. Contact CultivatingConnections@acl.hhs.gov with any questions.
