For more than a decade, THE GREEN GIG™ Locally Grown has brought together thousands – from farmers, fishers, harvesters, producers, bakers, roasters, brewers, and chefs to sponsors, donors, educators, families, and our greater community for one night in support of early childhood education.

Since 2012 and the inception of GGHF Curious by Nature School, the Foundation has provided over $400,000 to support early childhood education for more than 2,500 area children by underwriting a portion of tuition costs for every student and more than $60,000 in need-based scholarships through the Stewards Scholarship Fund to help close the early learning access gap in our community and give all children, especially those in greatest need, the strong start they need and deserve.

Join in the fun at THE GREEN GIG, the community's premier food, fun, and fundraising event for nature-based early learning!
