Grays Harbor Community Foundation awards Community Building Grants twice a year to nonprofits serving Grays Harbor County residents. Capital projects are accepted with contractor bids, a site visit and photos. The Foundation favors proposals that leverage other funding and gives preference to groups without recent Foundation grants.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but the page sets out rules for capital projects (bids, site visits and photos), so a nonprofit playground or park improvement serving Grays Harbor County residents could fit. A grant in the typical range could pay for part or all of a playground, such as surfacing, shade or play pieces, alongside other funding.
