Greenspace Enhancement Grant Program

Through the Greenspace Enhancement Grant Program, nonprofits in The Toro Company communities can apply for grants to revitalize and preserve the outdoor spaces in their communities. Grant support in previous years has gone towards building neighborhood gardens focused on sustainable agriculture, transforming neglected park spaces and playgrounds, and educating communities on the importance of water conservation – among other projects.
