A Free Lawn Mowing Service for Senior Citizens by founder Brian Schwartz. Laid off from an NYC Ad Agency at the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Schwartz was mowing his lawn soon after to clear his mind and had an epiphany. Thinking about his late grandfather, his father battling brain cancer and a newborn son on the way he wanted to do something good in the world. On a whim, a social distance service was born offering to help his elderly neighbors with their lawn care free of charge and not even accepting tips in an effort to provide not just physical but mental relief. He realized many vulnerable seniors living on fixed incomes can’t afford annual lawn maintenance. With local, national and international news coverage more volunteers across 6 states signed up to help. Over 100 client lawns have been serviced through our network of volunteers and landscape partners.
We are looking to raise funds to help expand our operations on a national scale and need help with writing professional grants that gets the attention of interested parties.

Mission Statement
To preserve dignity, enable independence and build community by providing eco-friendly essential lawn service for the elderly, veterans and others in need.
Description
Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I Want To Mow Your Lawn (r) , a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 853447661), offers completely free lawn care to seniors over 65, military veterans, the disabled, and those facing financial challenges - all while prioritizing eco-friendly practices. Founder Brian Schwartz, who was laid off from his digital advertising job, saw it as a chance to make a difference when the world felt chaotic.
As time progressed, the demand surged, and a growing number of volunteers joined Brian's mission. Currently, over 340 volunteers across 40 states have revitalized more than 500 yards. For those receiving assistance from I Want To Mow Your Lawn(tm), the grass might not always be greener, but it's neatly trimmed, edged, and raked.
Global media coverage has led to an impressive six-fold increase in volunteer sign-ups for the upcoming 2023 spring-summer season.
