The Home Depot‘s Building Healthy Communities Grant Program awards grants of up to $2,500 to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, public schools, and tax-exempt public service agencies in the United States that are using the power of volunteers to improve the physical health of their community. Grants are made in the form of Home Depot gift cards for the purchase or tools or materials.

Grants are for community improvement projects that include activities such as construction or refurbishment of affordable or transitional housing; building, rebuilding, painting, refurbishing, and/or improving energy efficiency and sustainability; and landscaping, planting of native trees, community facility improvements, and the development and/or improvement of green spaces. Grants must support work completed by community volunteers in the U.S.

Only registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, tax-exempt public schools, and tax-exempt public agencies in the U.S. are eligible to apply.

All applicants are required to pass an eligibility quiz before being considered for a grant. Visit the Home Depot Web site for complete program information and eligibility quiz.
