Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but this program makes capital grants for construction and capital equipment in areas that include youth and the environment. A nonprofit playground project in Chemung or Southeastern Steuben County could be framed as a capital request.

Capital Grants - for costs related to building construction, building renovation or capital equipment

Project Grants are made annually in the areas of the arts, culture, education, youth, environment, animals, human services, and capacity building.
