Great question — yes, we do offer discounts for non-profit organizations purchasing outdoor benches for community gardens. We regularly work with community gardens, school garden programs, church groups, and neighborhood green-space committees, so we understand that budgets are often pieced together from grants, donations, and volunteer fundraising.
Who qualifies
Registered 501(c)(3) non-profits, community garden associations, schools, churches, and similar community organizations typically qualify. If your group is not a registered non-profit but is operated by a municipality or a fiscal sponsor, send us what you have and we’ll review it case by case.
What discount is available
For most non-profit bench orders, we offer a 10% discount. If you order five or more benches, we can usually increase that to 15% or build a custom bulk quote around your project. The final discount depends on the bench style, quantity, and current stock, but we’re happy to work with you on a realistic number.
How to request the discount
Email us your organization name, shipping address, a copy of your 501(c)(3) determination letter or equivalent proof of non-profit status, and the bench models and quantities you’re interested in. If you don’t know which model fits, tell us about the garden — for example, full sun, partial shade, heavy foot traffic, or uneven ground — and we’ll recommend options.
Which benches work well for community gardens
For most community garden projects, I recommend recycled plastic outdoor benches. They hold up well in wet, sunny, and high-traffic conditions, and they don’t require sanding, painting, or sealing. Powder-coated metal benches are another low-maintenance option if you prefer a more traditional look. If your garden has grass or soil paths, ask about benches with ground-mount anchors or adjustable feet for stability.
Shipping and lead times
We ship to community gardens and parks, including curbside delivery and liftgate service for bulk orders. If you have a specific deadline — like a spring planting day, volunteer event, or grant closeout — let us know in your request so we can check current inventory and lead times. Local pickup may also be available depending on your location.
What if your budget is very small
If your non-profit has limited funding, ask about our occasional donation or sponsorship program. We can’t approve every request, but we do set aside a small number of benches each year for community garden projects. A short note about who the garden serves and how the benches will be used helps us route those requests.
Short answer: yes, we offer non-profit discounts, yes to community garden orders, and yes to helping you choose the right outdoor bench for your space. Send us your documentation and project details, and we’ll put together a discounted quote.
