Industry Growth Initiative

The Industry Growth Initiative is working diligently to grow the industry and its workforce. Through its national media relations, advertising and outreach campaigns, IGI is telling consumers, customers, and our future workforce that life – and life’s work – are best enjoyed outdoors. IGI showcases the value the industry offers families, communities and the environment and is taking bold steps to address the industry’s crippling workforce shortage.

IGI is guided by the NALP Foundation and funded through an industry coalition of landscape and lawn care companies, manufacturers and suppliers committed to raising the profile and recognition of professionalism in the industry. NALP’s Foundation leads the effort to raise $2 million dollars a year to support this major national campaign. Learn how you can become part of this important industry-wide movement.
