ORGANIZATION: I Want To Mow Your Lawn ®

image_20250414004216

I Want To Mow Your Lawn Inc. is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that honors the service of our nation's heroes through action. We provide free lawn care to veterans, older adults, and individuals with disabilities who are truly in need.

We help verified veterans from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Space Force, often living on low to moderate incomes. We typically ask for a military branch and optional paperwork to verify and qualify each request, ensuring our services go to those who need it most.

By volunteering, you help restore a sense of dignity and normalcy to someone’s daily life. And if you're a veteran yourself who is physically able, we would be proud to have you continue your legacy of service with us.

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

I Want To Mow Your Lawn(r) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 85-3447661) that connects homeowners in need with a nationwide network of passionate landscaping volunteers. Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we provide completely free lawn care services to seniors over 65, military veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those facing financial challenges, while prioritizing eco-friendly practices and fostering community connection.

Founded by Brian Schwartz after being laid off from his digital advertising job, the initiative began as a way to stay engaged during a difficult time. It has since grown into a thriving platform with over 1,300 volunteers across the USA and even some enlisted in other countries. With their help, we've revitalized countless yards, spreading kindness one lawn at a time.

Thanks to support from leading battery-powered equipment manufacturers and recognition in major media outlets, I Want To Mow Your Lawn(r) has become a growing, trademarked brand. Our mission connects the dots between homeowners and volunteers, offering relief while encouraging neighbors to lend a hand and make a difference. Whether it's trimming, edging, or just showing up to say hello, our volunteers help transform neighborhoods into stronger, greener communities.

Join us in this growing movement. Whether as a volunteer or supporter, your involvement helps us expand our reach and bring smiles to even more homes.
