Could a playground win this?
Possible fit Medium confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but permanently installed projects are allowed on public property or land owned by the neighborhood organization. The award of up to $5,000 is small enough to cover only part of a playground, such as shade, benches or a single play piece.
Projects where something is permanently installed or affixed must occur only on public property or property owned by the neighborhood organization.
Projects must occur within the neighborhood and be accessible to the public.
About the match
Your neighborhood organization must match the grant dollar for dollar. The match can be cash, volunteer hours, or donated goods and professional services, and at least half of the match must come from volunteer hours. Up to 10 hours of related pre-application activities can count toward the match. Volunteer labor or donated materials can count.
For the full $5,000 grant, you would provide $5,000 of your own.
