‘Go for your life’ Kitchen Garden Project with Stephanie Alexander grants
The Foundation is establishing 40 new school projects in Victoria, in partnership with Victorian State Government. Working within the 'Go for your life' health strategy, these schools will join the Program over a four-year period (2007–10).
This government funding provides $2.5 million for the rollout of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program into 40 Victorian government schools with primary enrolments. Each successful school receives a grant of $62,500 over two years, with $12,500 towards building a kitchen and garden, and $25,000 per year, for two years, towards staffing the program. These grants represent part-funding for the Program, and schools are expected to contribute the balance from their own resources and community networks.
The first 25 schools commenced their Kitchen Garden Programs in 2007 and are now delivering kitchen garden classes to their students each week.
Twenty-two new 'Go for your life' schools were announced in September 2008, and are implementing the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program in 2009–10.
