GrowNYC is a leading 501(3)(c) environmental nonprofit in NYC. We touch the lives of more than 3 million New Yorkers by providing essential sustainability services and opportunities to make NYC a greener city. One where every New Yorker can enjoy a healthier, more sustainable life. Our mission is to empower all New Yorkers with equitable access to fresh, locally grown food, neighborhood green spaces, and care for the environment.

We envision a New York City where fresh, nutritious food is ensured as a basic human right. Where our foodshed is protected and local farmers prosper. Where all have access to places to gather and grow. Where we handle our waste responsibly. And where all New Yorkers, especially those with frontline identities*, are empowered to enact their vision of a thriving community.

*“Frontline identities” includes but is not limited to BIPOC, queer, those with disabilities, and new immigrants
